MOSES ITAUMA and Dillian Whyte go head-to-head in a mammoth all-British battle – and SunSport can reveal the EXACT time it will get underway.
This all-Brit showdown sees rising whirlwind Moses ‘Wrecking Ball’ Itauma, aged just 20 and undefeated with a 12‑0 record (10 KOs), into the toughest test of his career.

The WBO ranked the youngster as No1 after knocking out Mike Balogun in May.
He faces off against veteran Dillian “The Body Snatcher” Whyte, now 37 and holding a 31‑3 record (21 KOs).
Itauma has bulldozed recent opponents – racking up eight consecutive knockouts – including Balogun and Demsey McKean in brutal stoppages, while Whyte comes off unconvincing wins over Christian Hammer and Ebenezer Tetteh.
The former world title contender also pulled out of an arranged bout with Joe Joyce earlier this year.
A win for Whyte is vital if he wants to get back to the top level of heavyweight boxing.
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.
