Moses Itauma is looking forward to an exciting match. When IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois defends his title against “Powered Up” Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night.
The 19-year-old heavyweight prodigy is likely to return to the ring in November. At this point his overall weight division might look significantly different.
On October 12, Itauma 10-0 (8 KO) will be an interested audience when Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke renew their fight in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia and join the new competition for the British title. But this weekend he will focus on various activities. In London when Dubois defended his belt for the first time against Joshua.
“I saw Dubois’s production on TNT. I didn’t time how big Dubois was at 19 years old. I was like, ‘Holy shit, I thought I was big,'” Itauma told Queensberry Promotion when He was asked what he thought would happen.
“At first I thought it was very one-sided. I still feel like it’s one-sided for ‘AJ’ but not as much as I thought. I feel like Dubois has a good chin and he has a good punch. Anthony Joshua obviously has a lot of power, but Dubois also has fire-fighting power. So this might be a little tough. I feel like AJ is a little too seasoned for him.”
Itauma has been mixing with the country’s top fighters since he was in school. And even though he punched both of them But he still fought with Dubois for many more rounds.
“His jab is underrated,” he said. “He has a good jab, good chin. He’s quite fit. He’s got a gas tank and he’s pretty fast. He is quickly underestimated.”
Even though he trains in the same gym as Joshua. But Ituma followed his own schedule and never paid any attention to Joshua’s training before the all-England showdown. But as the first bell came closer There is also the aura of the two-time unified heavyweight champion. It’s starting to seep through the Ben Davison Performance Center.
When he separated Joshua remains the most explosive figure in the heavyweight division. And considering the way Du Bois conducts his business, All signs point to a violent and intense confrontation. Itauma has seen telltale signs that Joshua is starting to prepare for a brutal fight.
“I haven’t seen any sparring,” Itauma said. “I haven’t fought him since I was 16 years old, and I’ve only done one or two rounds. So I can’t really judge anything.
“I can definitely see the mind. He turned it on. I walked into the gym yesterday. I said ‘hello’ to everyone when I went to the gym. I punched him and said ‘Are you ready?’ He was like, ‘I am ready.’ And he looked at me.
“I walked out and I was like, ‘OK, he’s ready to cry.’ He’s ready to hurt someone.’”
