One of the most exciting prospects in the sport is also eager to take on a big name in the next heavyweight division.
Britain’s 21-year-old Moses Itauma scored an impressive fifth-round knockout over Jermaine Franklin in March, becoming the first fighter to stop the American in 27 fights.
Itauma’s team must now decide what’s next for a young fighter who has so far proven that the hype is justified.
His win over Franklin kept him as the number one challenger for the WBO title, so if his team feels he’s ready, the fight could be against the winner of Wardley vs. Dubois next.
A learning fight seems to be the best option for Itauma as he awaits his world title shot. Itauma mentioned that one option is veteran contender Filip Hrgovic, who fights Dave Allen in May.
Elsewhere, Richard Riakpore is the new British champion and Dereck Chisora has appeared to make a U-turn on his retirement plans.
With Fraser Clarke and Jamie ‘TKV’ Tshikeva both suffering defeats on the Fury undercard in entertaining bouts, there are plenty of options for the British veteran.
