Itauma Takes Down Wach in the 2nd Round

On July 27 in London, UK, in the undercard of the showdown between Joe Joyce (16-2, 15 KOs) and Derek Chisora (34-13, 23 KOs), 19-year-old British prospect Moses Itauma (10-0, 8 KOs) faced off against 44-year-old Polish veteran Mariusz Wach (38-11, 20 KOs). The fight concluded in the 2nd round with Itauma's victory. Moses sent his opponent to the canvas initially, but Wach managed to continue the bout. However, upon resumption, Itauma cornered Wach and after a flurry of punches, the referee stopped the fight – TKO 2.

This marks Itauma's 10th victory in 10 professional boxing matches.

In May, Moses Itauma defeated Ilia Mezentsev (25-4, 21 KOs) by technical knockout in the 2nd round. Mariusz Wach had not fought since October 2023, when he won a 10-round match against Michal Boloz (5-7-2, 5 KOs) by unanimous decision.
