“We Have Names in Mind.” Itauma’s Trainer Hints at Briton’s Next Opponent

Ben Davison, trainer of British Heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma, commented on his fighter’s victory over fellow countryman Dillian Whyte.

“I foresaw this. It’s incredibly difficult to go the distance with him. I’ve seen in the gym how he destroys opponents, walks them down, and breaks them. Dillian Whyte is a legend of British boxing, but the downside is we’re still trying to find ways to give Moses more rounds.

Working with him is a real pleasure. We have names in mind. But if we mention them, the price immediately goes up — and Frank Warren might not like that,” Davison said.

As a reminder, on August 16, 20-year-old Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs) knocked out 37-year-old Dillian Whyte (31-4, 21 KOs) in the first round. Detailed fight statistics can be found at the provided link.
