Gareth D. Davies says the heavyweight contender Moses Itauma should not be placed at the undisputed champion Oleksandr ukson or the former King Tyson Fury division.
Journalist Davies mentions that 20-year-old Itauma (13-0, 11 COs) cannot afford to lose, and that he would give away a lot of experience against the Southpaw utility and the uncomfortable ‘Gypsy King’ rage.
Avoid USyk and Fury
Gareth believes itauma can beat the big punchers in the division, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. However, he would not fight now with Dubois, because if he shot one hard, he could ko Itauma, who moved around as he hid glass in his chin.
Unless the money is enormous, Queensberry will set the Itauma at USyk, knowing what could happen if he did not go well. Losing itauma’s career at Utauma’s career at this early stage would ruin all the hard work that Queensberry did, and they would not be able to rebuild him in the money maker he would have been.
“I wouldn’t put him in it Oleksandr Ulsyk and Tyson Fury now. I think he is able to beat everyone else, ”Gareth A. Davies said SecondsTalk about Moses Itauma. “He is a very uncomfortable customer and is very experienced, just like utility, a Southpaw. I don’t think there’s anyone (who can beat itauma). ‘
This is a premature remark from Gareth, because itauma has not yet faced one of the talented fighters in the division. Dillian Whyte, 37, was old and was never more than a decent heavyweight at British level. Whyte did not have an amateur career to improve his skills like many of the younger top heavyweights in the division. Unfortunately, he is the only significant victory on the resume of Moses Itauma, and he is a fighter on the underrearner.

Jalolov’s amateur experience
Itauma has problems with the size, power and technical skills of the 6’6 ″, the two -time Olympic gold medal Jalolov, which is also a South Paw with much more amateur experience. If Itauma couldn’t end up with one of his knockout shots against Jalolov, he could eliminate and possibly stop. Moses’ style would not be a problem for Jalolov to find out, as opposed to the 13 travelers against which Queensberry as a pro match.
“They (Queensberry) won’t bring him to Daniel Dubois now, because a Daniel Dubois Punch can end your evening,” Gareth said about Itauma. “I think he is (Itauma) able to put most of the big heavyweights away within five rounds: the Daniel Dubois, the Anthony Joshua. Parker is a hard fight for him.
“Agit Kabayel is a hard fight, simply because they are at the peak of their powers. Daniel Dubois is also a hard fight. Martin Bakole is more experienced. Lawrence Okolie is a strange battle.”
