“The British boxer will get a chance to fight for the WBA belt against Murat Gasiev”, — write: sport.ua
At the moment, the WBA Regular belt is owned by the representative of Bulgaria, Kubrat Pulev (32–3, 14 KOs), who will meet with the Russian Murat Gasiev (32–2, 25 KOs).
Itauma will be able to claim the WBA title if the Russian boxer wins, as Pulev is not going to enter the ring against the talented Briton.
“Gassiev is someone who came out of the niche, an excellent boxer, an incredible heavyweight, he just won in America and now he can claim the title.
Murat will knock out Pulev, and then he will meet with Itauma, he will be the next opponent. Murat Gasiyev vs. Moses Itauma is much better than Moses Itauma vs. Pulev. The only negative for Itauma is that Gasiyev will become the champion,” said Siesta.
