The great Oleksandr Usyk has shocked the boxing world by announcing he will fight for four more years however he has designated one top contender has officially been blacklisted from consideration as one of this future challengers.
“No, I won’t fight (Moses) Itauma. He’s young, always teasing me. And he said himself he doesn’t fight grandpas. I’ll fight until I’m 41. Then I’ll build a sports academy – I’ll train there and train others.”
With his perfect professional career and unbeaten record it’s shocking that Usyk has no interest in fighting the most colorful, dynamic and explosive contender in the heavyweight division. 20 year old Itauma has rocketed to stardom after demolishing Dillian Whyte inside a round with a sensational, spectacular performance two months ago. Itauma’s devastating knockout of Whyte with his precise and blinding combinations of extraordinary power was more impressive than anything Mike Tyson achieved before he knocked out Trevor Berbick at age 20 in 1986.
One thing is now certain. Moses Itauma’s skillset and arsenal have severely threatened the reigning world heavyweight champion and one of the greatest champions in heavyweight history – and turned him into a handpicking ducker.
