Dillian Whyte is much more experienced at 37-years-old, and comes into the clash with a mega record of 31-3-0.
Moses Itauma will look to continue his ascendancy to the top of the heavyweight scene with a massive victory over The Body Snatcher in Riyadh.
The 20-year-old is currently signed with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, and his signature to the promoter has meant he’s made some personal changes.
SunSport can reveal what Moses Itauma’s real name is, and why he changed it.

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.
