Heavyweights Moses Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) and Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) stepped on the scales Friday afternoon in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to make their DAZN PPV main event official on Saturday.
The fight between the two heavyweights will look to determine if the 20-year-old Itauma is ready for the next step in his career and if Whyte should consider retiring from the sport. The WBA featherweight title fight between the champion Nick Ball and his opponent Sam Goodman will look to steal the show as the co-main of this DAZN PPV card. Now that the weigh-ins are complete, all that is left is for the fights to happen on Saturday.
