Former Champs Predict Itauma vs Whyte
By Casino Beats
Ahead of Saturday’s highly anticipated bout between Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte, ex-champions Carl Froch, George Groves and Tony Bellew gave their thoughts on the showdown…
Carl Froch – Moses Itauma Will Give Dillian Whyte A VERY Tough Night
CF: “It’s going to be a tough fight for Dillian he’s in for a hard night. He’s getting thrown to the wolves with this one.You’ll find out a bit more about Itauma after this weekend. But Moses hasn’t been tested out properly and his biggest success was probably against Mariusz Wach. I think he’s a great prospect though. He’s only young, but he’s a dangerous fighter and a big puncher who believes in himself. He’s got some skills as well. It’s going to be really exciting watching him come through.”
George Groves – Itauma Can Finish Whyte Inside Two Or Three Rounds!
GG: “I think it’s a great match for Moses, he’s been very well looked after. Frank Warren has done a brilliant job with him. It wouldn’t surprise me if Itauma blasts Whyte out in two or three rounds. I think it’s really good matchmaking. So it would be great if there were half a dozen fighters in this country as good as Moses Itauma.”
Moses Itauma Will Beat Usyk Eventually, The New Era Is Here
GG: “I think Usyk beats Moses Itauma right now. But I think in 12 months he won’t beat Itauma. And maybe then, that is like the passing of the torch. Usyk’s era is almost over. Because he’s beaten all of these guys. He’s beat them and he’s gone back to the drawing board to beat him again.”
Tony Bellew – Itauma Is Exceptional, He Could Even Beat Daniel Dubois!
TB: “I just think Itauma is an exceptional fighter. Everything about him, his demeanor, his attitude, everything. He’s in his own time. He presses when he wants. He’s quality. I just think he’s very, very good. And then add to that, he’s a southpaw as well. And I think within 18 months, he’ll be fighting for a World Heavyweight title. There’s no fear. I just think, given a little bit more experience, I’d favour him to beat the next crop of heavyweights, the likes of Daniel Dubois.”
