British boxer Moses Itauma says his ultimate goal is to fight in Nigeria.
Itauma’s perfect record of 13-0 (11 KOs) and his explosiveness have led to widespread praise from figures like Tyson Fury, who has called him the future of the sport.
Speaking with DAZN, Itauma, who was born in Slovakia to a Slovakian mother and a Nigerian father, expressed his excitement about the prospect of fighting in Nigeria.
“Of course I want to box here, that’s the end goal. When I look at people in Nigeria, I know these are my people the way they embrace me.

“I feel like it’s one of these things that has been talked about for a long time but never been executed., Now I think we are coming to the closing stages of trying to execute a fight in Nigeria.
“Someone asked me off the plane about my belts and said they were proud of me. They said I’m Nigerian and doing well, so they’re proud of me. It’s kind of hard to turn down people like that.
“It’s my first time back for over 15 years. Last time I was here was 2010, when I was far too young to remember. To see it through a man’s eyes is amazing.”

This kid Moses Itauma is the new undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World- in waiting. There is no one who can withstand him not Anthony Joshua, not Tyson Fury and not even the current top dog Oleksander Usyk,
Itauma will wipe every one of these old timers away for sure- and by the way he’s only just turned 20 years old –
Watch this space.
You heard it here first! God gave Nigerians the greatest genes among mankind. Ese
I must add though that the only other heavyweight in the world today that I am not sure that Itauma will beat currently is another Nigerian- Efe Ajagba
