“The heavyweight champion of the world does not plan to enter the ring against Moses Itauma”, — write: sport.ua
“Battle with Itauma? No, I will definitely not enter the ring against him. First, he is too young. I can stuff it. Secondly, he said that he does not beat grandfathers (laughs – adj.),” Usyk said.
Itauma is the world champion among youth under 19 (2022), three-time European champion among youth and juniors (2018, 2019, 2022), multiple champion of England. Currently holds the WBO Inter-Continental, WBA International and Commonwealth of Nations titles.
In 2025, the Briton entered the ring twice and won early both times – in May he knocked out the American Mike Balogun in the second round, and in August he destroyed his compatriot Dillian White in two minutes.
Usyk had one fight this year – on the night of July 20, he stopped British Daniel Dubois in the fifth round and took the IBF title from his opponent, which allowed him to become the absolute world champion.
