“The British boxer has set his sights on a title fight against Bulgaria’s Kubrat Pulev”, — write: sport.ua
– Why did you and Moses turn down the IBF eliminator with Frank Sanchez?
– Because Itauma holds the first place in the WBO and WBA rankings, and we do not want to lose this position. If we had agreed to fight this battle, we could have lost those seats.
So we want to save our chances at this stage. Also, I have another way for Moses. I am not going to tell you all the details of our plan now.
We are waiting for Oleksandr Usyk to make a final decision about his future, but in the meantime we want to make sure that Mozes is in the right position. We are interested in the fight with Kubrat Pulev. When the WBA sanctioned this fight, we were pleased. At the moment, that’s all we’re thinking about,” Warren said.
Itauma will hold his next fight on January 24, 2026 against the American Jermaine Franklin, after which he plans to enter the ring against Pulev. A boxer from Bulgaria holds the title of regular champion.
