Moses Itauma might be about to take a huge step up in competition.
On August 16, the prospect obliterated Dillian Whyte with a destructive performance inside the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
In the aftermath, Itauma said he was likely to fight Jermaine Franklin next.
However, it appears his manager has other ideas.
WOW: Moses Itauma KO slammed by heavy hitter, who claims Dillian Whyte was hurt by illegal punch
Francis Warren is eyeing up a showdown between Moses Itauma and Filip Hrgovic.
The Croatian, who has spent years at world level and has a victory on his resume over Joe Joyce, would present a very tough test for the 20-year-old.
In an interview with Boxing News, he said: “I like the Filip Hrgovic fight.
“We’ll have to see how Filip’s cut heals up; it was a pretty nasty cut he got against David Adeleye.”
Throughout his career thus far, the boxing world has waxed lyrical about Itauma.
And the hype surrounding him only grew further after his destructive performance against ‘The Body Snatcher’.
However, despite witnessing the power puncher dominate a former interim WBC world heavyweight champion, one former fighter still has his doubts.
Interestingly, this icon says Itauma has one question to answer.
