English boxing manager and promoter Frank Warren has tipped British boxer Moses Itauma as the possible next challenger that will face two-time undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Itauma, just 20, has shot to fame with his blistering performances inside the ring and has been compared to a young Mike Tyson.
The Brit has 12 big wins to his name, including 10 finishes inside the distance. However, he faces a tough battle against Usyk, who on Saturday floored Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium.
Speaking with Sky Sports, Warren stated that Itauma has what it takes to challenge the Ukrainian boxer.

“I think [Itauma] could fight for a world title this year,” Warren told Sky Sports.
“Who knows? He may fight him [Usyk] this year.
“Anything’s possible. We’ve got to see what happens but the thing is with Moses, I think within another fight or two he’s quite capable of being in exactly the same company as all these guys.
“He can be up there with all of them.”
