20-year-old Itaum knocked out Whyte in the first round: how it happened.

The 20-year-old British boxer Moses Itaum quickly defeated Dillian Whyte in Riyadh. Already in the first round, he knocked out his opponent, reports 'Suspilne Sport.'

Moses Itaum swiftly ended the fight with a series of precise punches, and the referee stopped the bout, declaring a technical knockout.

For Itaum, this was an extremely important result. Dillian Whyte, once considered one of the most outstanding heavyweight boxers, lost in front of thousands of spectators, further increasing interest in the young British fighter.

Upcoming fights

After the victory, Itaum expressed his ambitions. He named several potential opponents, including Joseph Parker, Agit Kabayel, and world champion Oleksandr Usyk.

'I am only twenty years old, and I have plenty of time to show the world of boxing what I am capable of. I am ready for new challenges and opponents of any level. I am confident that if I get the chance to fight for the title, I will do everything to become the world champion,' said Itaum.

Tyson Fury expressed admiration for Moses Itaum and voiced a desire to fight him in the future. WBO champion Joseph Parker also expressed his understanding regarding Usyk's injury, which will prevent the Ukrainian from fighting in the ring this fall.
