Nigerian-born British heavyweight prospect, Moses Itauma, delivered a stunning performance in Riyadh on Saturday night, stopping veteran boxer Dillian Whyte in less than two minutes of the opening round of their scheduled 10-round bout.
The 19-year-old rising star wasted no time, overwhelming Whyte with blistering combinations before forcing the referee to halt the contest, sealing what is arguably the most significant victory of his young professional career.
The highly anticipated showdown was billed as a test of Itauma’s readiness for the elite ranks of heavyweight boxing, and his emphatic win over former world title challenger Whyte has further cemented his reputation as one of the division’s brightest prospects.
