Moses Itauma names his favourite emerging heavyweights but does he include major puncher with 11 knockouts from 11 fights?

Later this month, Moses faces the most significant test of his professional career when he goes for world title glory against Filip Hrgovic with the vacant IBF crown up for grabs. 

Destined for stardom since his pro debut, Moses’ reputation has soared in the last couple of years with destructive wins over leading contenders like Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin .  

Now against Hrgovic, Moses’ profile can go even further as the world title will make him the second youngest heavyweight champion in history behind only Mike Tyson. 

A win for Moses could see the division become a youthful place in the next few years as numerous young contenders are currently working hard in the hope of reaching the same destination where Moses finds himself. 

After seeing the success of Moses, and even Damiel Dubois going back a few years earlier, numerous promoters are actively seeking the next big star at heavyweight, but what fighters have caught the eyes of the 21-year-old? 

“I like Leo Atang. He’s very decent and he’s a nice kid as well,” said Itauma when speaking to DAZN News .  

“I like Adam Olayinan, the guy who’s just signed with Queensberry. I watched his fight the other day and that was very good as well.  

“Obviously that Teremoana, he looks decent. They’re probably the ones I’m looking at for the young guns coming up. They all look decent.”
