Which British heavyweights are chasing Itauma on world-level radar?

A new British name could be added to the heavyweight honour roll this weekend if Moses Itauma overcomes Filip Hrgovic.

The glamour-division's rising superstar is no longer the hot prospect anymore. Now, he is the contender to its biggest throne.

Victory at London's The O2 Arena over the durable Croatian this Saturday night will confirm him as IBF heavyweight champion.

But it is more than just that. Success could further open the door to a new wave of British stars chomping for their own shot.

Now, as Moses bids to join WBO star Daniel Dubois at the summit, DAZN News asks - which of their countrymen could be next?

Richard Riakporhe

The British heavyweight champion earned his domestic stripes back in April, but was no stranger to world-level at cruiserweight.

That, coupled with WBC, WBO and IBF rankings, means he appears likely to be pushing for his own chance, perhaps in 2027.

Thirty-seven next January, the years might be against him. But a big win next up could catapult him firmly into the mix for a shot.

Derek Chisora

Thought 'Del Boy' was retired? Well, if the old warhorse himself is to be believed, you might not want to rule out yet another last act.

The star has been chomping at WBA champion Murat Gassiev on social media - and per reports, the latter is indeed open to a bout.

That would offer a remarkable capstone for the 42-year-old, who twice challenged for the WBC title in 2012 and 2022 during his prime.

Lawrence Okolie

This one comes with a major asterisk after the star returned an adverse VADA finding ahead of his bout with Tony Yoka back in April.

Still ranked second with the WBC, Okolie could theoretically be a key challenger to champion Agit Kabayel if the latter was interested.

Yet much will hinge on the result of any investigation, with the star hopeful his name will be cleared so that he can resume his career.

Fabio Wardley

This one feels more of a foregone conclusion than everything else, with the ex-WBO champion poised for a shot at his former strap.

Wardley showed tremendous heart against Daniel Dubois in May, before officials waved off their contest to hand the latter his crown.

Suggestions point towards an October rematch between them. Of those in the mix, it may be the Ipswich man best-placed to pounce.

Tyson Fury

It seems bizarre to view 'The Gyspy King' as a potential British rival for Moses - but another bid for glory isn't too far off the table too.

Should Fury's long-awaited bout with Anthony Joshua fall through, the veteran is the top-ranked challenger for Kabayel's WBC strap.

That could prove to be a delicious bout - and should he prevail, it seems alien to think Moses would not be on the table to follow up.
