After a stunning combination that culminated in an explosive right hand that severely downed Mezencev, the fight came to an end fifty seconds into the second round. Although he managed to get back up, Foster had to step in before another blow could be delivered.
The Kent fighter won their one-round demolition contest against Iljah Mezencev 9-0. Itauma, though, will be concentrating on more ambitious objectives going forward, including taking home a heavyweight world title.
Itauma’s victory was his seventh in the distance. Now that everyone is talking about the boxer, here is all you need to know about the youngster.
Who is Moses Itauma?
Moses Itauma is a British teenage boxer who was born on December 28, 2004. The 19-year-old holds dual citizenship and is British and Slovak. He is from Chatham in Kent born in Kežmarok, Slovakia and measures 198 cm tall. He weighed 110.4 in his last fight.
Born to a Slovak mother and a Nigerian father, his brother Karol has a 9-0 record at 175 pounds. Itauma is working under trainer Ben Davison who also looks after Anthony Joshua.
Still only 19, he boasts a professional record of 8-0, with six of those wins coming by way of knockout.
Itauma, at eighteen, defeated Marcel Bode in the first round of their boxing match on January 28, 2023. He has never lost a bout in his professional boxing career so far.
A formidable opponent at the amateur level, he routinely defeated opponents en route to winning world youth titles. In January, he started his professional career after quickly signing with Frank Warren, for whom his brother Karol fights for.
Itauma, who won 24 fights as an amateur, plans to step back into the ring later this year. When Itauma first met Tyson this year, Tyson provided him with advice on how to handle lower-calibre boxers.
He is currently undefeated in boxing with a 9-0 record. Having scored a knockout in seven of his nine fights, his knockout-to-fight ratio stands at 77.8%.
