It doesn’t matter who trains Moses Itauma he is coming full blast this year.
He is absolutely ready to challenge Oleksandr Usyk or a Tyson Fury.
More than ready. His latest brutal knockout of Jermaine Franklin this weekend from the US proved it.
Here’s why he knocks out Usyk or Fury now:
- Devastating power — 86% KO rate, including a 1st-round destruction of Dillian Whyte.
- Youth & explosiveness — At 21 he’s in prime athletic condition; Usyk (39) and Fury (37) have heavy mileage.
- Southpaw speed — Lightning-fast hands and combos that overwhelm bigger men early.
- Precision punching — Lands power shots with high accuracy and smart setup.
- Size & reach — 6’4½” with 79″ reach and 235+ lbs frame to match or exceed both.
- Early dominance — Multiple 1st/2nd-round KOs; can end fights before veterans get going.
- Fury’s decline — Reduced mobility and weight issues make him vulnerable to young power.
- Usyk’s power vulnerability — Has been hurt before; one clean Itauma shot could change everything.
- Tyson-like aggression — Comes out like prime Mike Tyson, hunting finishes immediately.
- Composure & IQ — Stays calm, uses feints and mixes body/head attacks effectively.
- Sparring experience — Has shared the ring with elite heavyweights, including looks at Fury’s style.
- Momentum & hunger — On a tear with high rankings; desperate to prove himself against legends.
Itauma can be much better than Mike Tyson was as well.
Much calmer, a better boxer and more calculated.
Improving all the time.
It doesn’t matter who his trainer is, as long as someone somewhat competent his natural ability for boxing will only develop at a rapid rate anyway.
The UK have a new major sports star on their hands with Moses Itauma.
