Moses Itauma (12-0, 10 COs) will put his unbeaten record-hype at stake against old veteran Dillian Whyte, in the 12-round fought, Live on dazn PPV at the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Ball defends the WBA title against Goodman
In the co-function, WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball (22-0-1, 13 CO’s) defends Sam Goodman (20-0, 8 COs) in a very criticized fight that is considered by fans as a complete mismatch.
Goodman was selected from the 122 pound division for the post, has little punching power and is not seen as a threat to Ball’s short government as the WBA 126-pound champion. This kind of game has become the norm for ball since winning the WBA title in 2024.

Tonight’s running order on Dazn PPV
- Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte
- Nick Ball against Sam Goodman
- Ray Ford vs. Abraham Nova
- Filip Hrgovic vs. David Adelye
- Hayato Tsuutsumi vs. Qais Ashfaq
Eddie Hearn-promoted super-featherweight contender Ray Ford (17-1-1, 8) fights substitute opponent Abraham Nova (24-3-1, 17 COs) in a 10-round battle. This battle can be much more competitive than fans of boxing believe. Nova should have only one loss on its record, but were at the end of three questionable decisions during his career.
Filip Hrgovic vs. David Adelye Clash
The battle that should be the most important support for tonight’s event, if not the main event, is the contenders for heavyweight Filip Hrgovic (18-1, 14 COs) and David Adelye (14-1, 13 COs).
It created more buzz in building up with their back-and-forth remarks than any of the fights. They constantly staged the Itauma-whyte head during the press conferences. Turki Alalshikh made a mistake in the running order for this card.
Still Green Itauma, 20, gets a step in the competition through his promoters at Queensberry against 37-year-old Whyte (31-3, 21 COs). If Moses falls apart against Dillian tonight, his promoters will receive a lot of criticism from fans for giving him such a big step after the 12 cupcakes on which they combined him since he became pro two years ago.
Moses Itauma’s weight reduction and career low
Itauma weighed a slender 235 pounds Last Friday, which was 18.5 pounds lighter than his previous 254-pound weight at little well-known 41-year-old Mike Balogun in May. The two -year -old professional, Itauma’s weight, is a career for him. Interestingly, itaums still looked like he was wearing an extra 10 pounds on his frame that could still be discarded.
Itauma’s true weight with the fat down is about 225 pounds. It is not bad for a 6’4 ″ heavyweight that depends on his hand speed, power and movement to win fights. But against the larger fighters in the division that his shots can handle, he may be too light.
Fans were criticized by fans for looking chubby in his fight, and it seemed like he worked hard to take the weight off for this one against Dillian. It may not be enough if he cannot handle the power of Whyte, which is one of the most difficult punchers in the section, with an experience benefit.
