British boxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed has declared that rising heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma is a million times better than Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Hamed stated in an interview with BBC Sport that Itauma operates on a completely different tier compared to the decorated British former world champions.

He asserted that neither Fury nor Joshua would willingly step into the ring with Itauma unless they were feeling exceptionally brave.
Hamed expressed absolute confidence that the young southpaw will capture a world heavyweight title and defend it successfully.
“Moses is on another level to the likes of Tyson Fury and Tyson would say that himself. Tyson would not want to fight Moses and neither would Joshua,” Hamed told BBC Sport.
“If they did I would say they are very brave.
“I think Tyson Fury was amazing for British boxing and what he achieved, what he did and brought to the game and how colourful he was as a personality.
“I think Joshua did an amazing job early in his career to win a world title and be an ambassador for British boxing.

“[But] I can’t compare Moses. He is a million times better than them.”
Itauma approaches a major milestone as he prepares to face Croatia’s Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight title.
A victory would position the young contender near historic records for youth in the heavyweight division, continuing a fast-tracked professional ascent managed by Queensberry Promotions under Frank Warren.
