Tyson Fury says he believes Moses Itauma will “Wreck” Incompetent heavyweight champion Oleksandr utility and any of the older, well -known fighters in the division. Retired former two-time champion Fury says 20-year-old Itaum will beat USyk because it is a ‘young man against an old man’.
Listen to Fury Talk, one cannot help but think that he is not Still bitter lost to USyk twice. Thus, his prediction of a serious end to him against the unproven prospect Itauma is one way for “The Gypsy King” to achieve a minor victory over his conqueror.
The risk of fighting USyk
Interestingly, Fury does not mention that usky knocked out the then 25-year-old Daniel Dubois in their first fight in 2023, and then did it again in 2025. ‘Dynamite’ Dubois was 27.
If Itauma’s promoters, Queensberry, want to throw him in a risky venture before the end of the year, they can live to regret their decision. USYK was able to expose Itauma as a false, just like with Dubois, that ruined its marketability.
It would be wiser for Queensberry to continue to play it safely with Itauma. He fought no one during his short Pro- and short 20-game amateur career to prepare him for a fighter like USKyk.
‘I am still being asked about the young Moses Itauma who fights Oleksandr utility and fights against other big names. In my opinion, he (Itauma) is not someone who does not know boxing.
“He is someone who was there and won every belt, and everything there is to win in boxing and did very well,” Tyson Fury said on social media, giving his two cents on a possible battle between the undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr uksk and the still unproven prospect/contender Moses Itauma.
‘Boxing is a young man’s game, as I said Vladimir Klitschko when he was 37 (Correction: Vladimir was 39 and 8 months when he fought Fury in 2015). It’s a young man’s game. It is waiting for no one. Moses Itauma would destroy all the old men in the section: UJ, (Jarrell) Miller. Whoever is old, (Zhilei) Zhang, Luis Ortiz
‘All of these big names of the past are a used power. Even the world champion who took and gave my belts, Moses will ruin him because it is a young man to an old man. An old man can’t mess with a young man, “Fury says.
How itauma’s hype is manufactured
It seems that anger is being sold on Itauma (13-0, 11) after seeing him destroy the old, painfully sluggish, gun Dillian Whyte in one round last Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
It was the perfect match-making of Queensberry to choose the 37-year-old Whyte (31-3, 21 COs) as the opponent of Itauma to create the pseudo mysticism of invincibility.
Fans bought it naive and believed that Itauma is the next superstar heavyweight of boxing. Like Fury, they drank the Kool-Aid and couldn’t pay attention to how poor Dillian looked in six of his last eight fights from 2019.
You need to follow the sport carefully to know that Whyte has been fragile since his fight with Oscar Rivas six years ago. ‘The Body Snatcher’ was dropped in the ninth round and was also injured in the twelfth round.
