Queensberry Promotions is preparing for a significant week as they gear up to announce the next opponent for Tyson Fury. The focus is also shifting to the rising heavyweight star, Moses Itauma, who is set to face a top 10 contender in Manchester.
Moses Itauma’s Rising Star
The 21-year-old Moses Itauma boasts an impressive record of 14 wins, including 12 knockouts. He is seen as a future leader in the heavyweight division. In March, Itauma showcased his talent by defeating Jermaine Franklin in just five rounds.
Next Fight Details
Initially, Itauma was scheduled to fight on July 25 at London’s O2 Arena. However, this date conflicted with Anthony Joshua’s fight announcement in Saudi Arabia. Consequently, Itauma’s match has been rescheduled for August 8 in Manchester.
Opponent Information
Filip Hrgovic, who achieved a notable victory over Dave Allen in three rounds on May 16, is rumored to be Itauma’s opponent for this upcoming match.
Promoter’s Statement
Frank Warren, the promoter for Queensberry, confirmed to Sky Sports, “Moses is fighting up in Manchester. We’re going to announce it. He’s fighting a top 10 heavyweight, and we expect to finalize the fight.”
Conclusion
The heavyweight division is heating up, and Moses Itauma is poised to make a significant impact. Fans can look forward to an exciting matchup in Manchester that could define his career trajectory.
