British Boxer Calls Out Usyk, Fury, and Joshua: Why Are the Champions Dodging a Fight?.
Moses Itauma's Career Journey
According to Novyny.live: British heavyweight Moses Itauma is pushing for a climb in the rankings to secure a match against elite fighters like Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury, and Anthony Joshua. Despite his ambition, the opportunity to face these top names has not materialized.
In his latest bout, Itauma stopped Jermaine Franklin with a fifth-round knockout, improving his record to 14 wins, 12 of them coming by way of knockout. He insists he is ready to step into the ring with anyone, as his goal is to take on all the leading contenders in the heavyweight division.
Hurdles in the Path
However, he has voiced frustration that Usyk, Fury, and Joshua seem reluctant to fight him.
“Are Usyk, Fury, and Joshua unwilling to face me? That’s something you’d have to ask them. They should want to, but for some reason, they don’t,” Itauma said.Despite these setbacks, he remains determined to achieve top results in his career and earn a shot at a title fight.
The situation surrounding Moses Itauma highlights the challenges young boxers face in the heavyweight division when trying to secure bouts against established stars. Even with his recent success, such as the win over Franklin, the lack of interest from elite fighters could slow his career momentum. This underscores how professional boxing relies not only on athletic performance but also on a fighter's commercial appeal to land high-profile matchups.
