Chisora Explains What Itauma Must Do Before Fighting for World Titles

Chisora Explains What Itauma Must Do Before Fighting for World Titles

41-year-old British veteran Dereck Chisora shared his thoughts on the future of his compatriot Moses Itauma following the young prospect’s dominant win over Dillian Whyte.

Chisora was asked whether Itauma is already ready to challenge Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk or interim WBO Champion Joseph Parker.

“No. He needs to win the British title. To be the best, you have to dominate your division at home. He has to get that British belt. Forget about the world title for now. First, win the British title — then we’ll know you’re one of us,” Chisora said.

As a reminder, on August 16, Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs) knocked out Dillian Whyte in the first round. Key fight stats from RTF were published here, with full details available at the link.

Would you like me to preserve Chisora’s raw, straight-talking style exactly as in Russian, or polish it slightly into smoother English phrasing while keeping his trademark bluntness?
