FRANK WARREN warned not to rule out Moses Itauma fighting Oleksandr Usyk for the heavyweight title this year.
Itauma has set the British boxing scene alight – delivering nine brutal knockouts.
He has even been – who became the youngest heavyweight champion of all time aged 20.
And Itauma’s promoter Warren has not ruled out the 20-year-old Londoner fighting for the world title or against in 2025.
Warren told Sky Sports: “I think he could fight for a world title this year. 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.”;;
Usyk, 38, faces Daniel Dubois, 27, two years after beating him in Poland but only after low-blow controversy.
The Ukrainian hopes to add to doubles over Tyson Fury, 36, and Anthony Joshua, 35, and warned he only had two fights left in his career.
Itauma meanwhile knocked out Demsey McKean and now returns on Saturday against American Mike Balogun.
Warren said: “His last fight was a phenomenal performance. He was briefly in the ring but it’s not just the knockout, it’s how you do it.
“He’s got an excellent boxing brain, he’s got a superb jab. He measures his punches.
“Especially young guys, when they’ve got someone in trouble they swarm them, they don’t get their distance.
“He takes his time. He measures his shots before he throws them. He gets it dead on.
“What is there not to like about him? He’s an exciting fighter.”;;
