“The Evening Won’t Be Long” – Moses Itauma on Bout with Whyte

British heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma spoke about his expectations for the upcoming clash with compatriot Dillian Whyte.

“Dillian is a big name, a serious opponent. My job is to get in there and do my work. I need to stick to the game plan. If I box to the plan, the evening won’t be long.

This is the first event where my fight will be the main event. It will take place in Saudi Arabia against Dillian Whyte, and I’m only 20 years old.

Of course, it’s pressure, but I like a bit of pressure. I acknowledge it, but I don’t feel it. I know it’s there, but I don’t let it affect me simply because it won’t help me. I’m ready to perform on Saturday night,” Itauma told the Toe2Toe podcast.

The fight between Moses Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) and Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) will take place on August 16 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Analytical breakdown and detailed fight statistics are available via the link.
