Tyson Fury, a renowned boxing figure, has acknowledged the potential of Moses Itauma overpowering him if they were to face off in the ring. Fury faced consecutive losses against Ukrainian boxer last year, resulting in the loss and failed attempt to reclaim his world championship title. Despite initially announcing his retirement, Fury later reversed this decision and confirmed his comeback to the boxing scene in the upcoming year.
On the other hand, Usyk recently defeated Daniel Dubois in their Wembley rematch, expressing his intention to have one final fight before retiring. Fury recently took to social media to predict that Usyk would be defeated by the emerging British talent, Moses Itauma, who impressively defeated Dillian Whyte. Fury emphasized his confidence in Itauma’s abilities, highlighting his own extensive experience and achievements in the boxing world.
Fury’s statement on social media included his belief in the importance of youth in boxing, asserting that Itauma would dominate older competitors like Usyk, AJ, and others. The boxing community quickly reacted to Fury’s remarks, with some suggesting Fury’s comments stemmed from bitterness over his losses to Usyk.
Itauma, however, showed reluctance in directly challenging Usyk, stating that he does not feel deserving of such an opportunity. Instead, Itauma expressed interest in facing other deserving opponents like Agit Kabayel or Joseph Parker. As of now, Itauma plans to take a break before potentially returning to training.
