At this stage of his career – multiple failed attempts at a world title – and reaching the age of 37, Whyte is facing closing time in the last-chance saloon. A win against Moses Itauma will revive a flagging career. But a loss will likely place him in the list below as one of the great gatekeepers of the heavyweight division.

Rising star Moses Itauma once said he wanted to beat Mike Tyson’s record of becoming the youngest-ever world heavyweight champion.

Derek Chisora has had plenty to say about Moses Itauma’s fight with Dillian Whyte. Whyte has been largely inactive for the last three years, with just a couple of low-level fights since he missed out on a rematch with Anthony Joshua because he failed a drug test.

Oleksandr Usyk seemingly stepped into an aura of invincibility after demolishing Daniel Dubois emphatically in their rematch last month. Witnessing such dominating boxing brilliance did not stop His Excellency Turki Alalshikh from taking to his X social media account and naming 20-year-old phenom Moses Itauma as a fighter he believes can test the two-time undisputed heavyweight world champion.
