British Ex-Champion Names Tougher Opponent for Usyk Than Dubois

Former world champion, British boxer George Groves, named a fighter who he believes will present a more difficult challenge for two-time undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk than current IBF champion Daniel Dubois.

"Moses Itauma will be the future of heavyweight boxing. What he’s doing now at 19 years old is just incredible. It reminds me of Tyson.

I believe Itauma will be a more challenging opponent for Usyk than Daniel Dubois," said Groves.

In 2024, Usyk had two bouts, defeating Tyson Fury twice by unanimous decision.

Itauma’s record stands at 11-0, with 9 KOs. His most recent fight took place on the undercard of the Usyk vs. Fury rematch, where he knocked out Demsey McKean in the first round.
