Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte – all the info
One of the biggest fights of the year has arrived!
The highly-touted Moses Itauma faces the biggest test of his fledgling career as he steps into the ring with Dillian Whyte on Saturday night.
Itauma, 20, has great expectations on his shoulders – he has been compared to Mike Tyson and is expected by many to dominate boxing’s heavyweight division over the next decade.
But the Slovakian-born star – who sits at 12-0 (10KOs) is yet to face a test anywhere close to what Whyte can offer.
The Body Snatcher is now 37 and has not looked great in his last couple of fights, but the former world title challenger knows an upset win would catapult him right back to the top table.

Why are boxing’s bodyguards wearing BAD on their shirts?
Boxing’s bodyguards are wearing BAD on their shirts to remember the late Brent Aaron Davies.
Davies was Brendan Lyons’ best friend, who runs Lyons Den Security.
Lyons runs a lot of security for boxing events, and is Tyson Fury’s personal bodyguard.
In a tribute to his late friend on Instagram, Lyons wrote: “Will miss you like you wouldn’t believe, give me my first security job age 19, there would be no Lyons Den Security if it wasn’t for you.”
Davies’ funeral was held on August 1.
