Usyk vs. Moses Itauma: 5 Reasons For and Against the Fight

Without the aid of a crystal ball, it is impossible for one to determine what Moses Itauma will go on to achieve in the sport. He may, if his potential is fulfilled, one day become a world heavyweight champion and be everything everybody says he is on track to being. Yet, for now, at 20, Itauma is no more than a prospect with not a single win against a former world champion. He is, in other words, all potential and brings to the table nothing other than that. For us, that might be enough to stir the imagination, get us excited, and let us wonder what he could become. But, for Oleksandr Usyk, whose time is precious and whose record is littered with the names of world champions, the idea of fighting a man whose best win was last weekend against Dillian Whyte is hardly the most compelling prospect.
