At 21 years old, Moses Itauma has moved beyond prospect status and is being positioned as a world title challenger.
His ascent has been rapid, controlled, and deliberate, placing him on the verge of a world title opportunity while still barely removed from his teenage years.
Yet long before Moses reached this position, the Itauma name had already taken a professional journey through boxing — one that proved far less forgiving.
That earlier path belonged to his older brother, Karol Itauma.
Two Brothers, One Night
The divergence between the brothers’ careers can be traced to a single evening early in Moses Itauma’s professional life.
When Moses made his pro debut, it was intended to be a shared milestone for the family. Instead, the same event delivered a stark reminder of boxing’s unforgiving nature.
On that night, Karol suffered the first defeat of his professional career, losing via knockout to Argentinian veteran Ezequiel Maderna, who abruptly halted his early momentum at 9-0.
While one brother was being introduced to the paid ranks, the other was absorbing the harshest lesson the sport offers. They would never appear on the same bill again.
From that moment forward, their careers separated — not by design, but by circumstance.
Moses Itauma’s Margin for Error
Moses Itauma’s progress since has been relentless. Still just 21, the heavyweight has built his reputation on discipline and efficiency, climbing toward the front of the title queue while maintaining composure beyond his years.
As World Boxing News previously reported in The Rise and Return of Moses Itauma: No False Moves, the young heavyweight’s position has been strengthened while he waits for a shot at the sport’s ultimate prize.
The situation places pressure on the younger Itauma to remain active and decisive. One misstep could slow his momentum. So far, none have arrived.
Karol Itauma’s Longer Road
Before Moses became one of Britain’s fastest-moving heavyweight prospects, Karol carried the family’s expectations.
An elite amateur, Karol won gold at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games and became an eight-time national champion.
Turning professional in 2020, he signed with and was trusted on major stages across the UK, including Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and the Copper Box.
That trajectory shifted in January 2023 when he challenged for the vacant WBC International light heavyweight title and suffered his first professional defeat.
The loss did not end his career, but it altered its pace. Victories followed, yet the acceleration never fully returned.
A Quiet Stretch
Following his most recent win, Karol spoke publicly of “new beginnings.” It suggested a reset.
Nearly ten months later, the visible signals that usually accompany a renewed push have been absent. Karol has not posted a boxing-related image on Instagram for more than 41 weeks — an observable fact rather than an interpretation.
In the same span, Moses Itauma has remained highly visible, active, and increasingly central to heavyweight conversations. Karol has since devoted time to interests outside the ring.
The Unforgiving Nature of Timing
The difference between the Itauma brothers is not ability. Both possess it. The separation lies in timing, momentum, and how little room boxing allows for recovery at critical moments.
If Moses completes his rise to the top, his story will be told as one of speed and inevitability.
Less remembered may be the quieter truth that the family’s first professional journey came with setbacks that never make highlight reels.
Before the fast track, there was the long road that 13-1 Karol continues to navigate.
