Moses Itauma superfight can be as big as Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury, predicts legendary promoter
A future superfight between Moses Itauma and another British Heavyweight could be as big as a potential Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury bout.
For many years, boxing fans have been clamouring to see Anthony Joshua face off against Tyson Fury, especially when both men were undefeated Heavyweight world champions.
Fury retiring for the fifth time back in January and both men losing their titles put a damper on a potential clash between the two, although rumors of a future fight between Fury and Joshua continue to swirl.
This fight would be the biggest bout in British boxing, although one legendary promoter thinks a Moses Itauma clash could match it in the next few years.
Frank Warren thinks Moses Itauma vs Daniel Dubois can be as big as Fury vs Joshua
Legendary boxing promoter Frank Warren thinks a clash between British star Itauma and Daniel Dubois could be the biggest fight in British boxing.
Dubois is coming off a loss to Oleksandr Usyk, but is still early in his career and has a good chance of becoming world champion again in the future.
Speaking to BoxNation, Warren argued that a future superfight between Dubois and Itauma could be as big as a potential Fury vs Joshua clash.
However, he caveated that by admitting that it would need to happen in the future, with both men picking up big wins and world titles along the way.
Warren explained: “Moses against anybody’s a big fight. Manchester will be sold out with Moses. It’s huge. It’s massive. Of course, it’s a big fight.
“[If they fought in two years both as world champions] That’ be like an AJ-Tyson fight, wouldn’t it? You know, you look at AJ, AJ’s coming off a few losses as well. Tyson’s had two losses as well.
And you know, these two guys down the road, you know, when you would think that Tyson and in a couple of years, as you were talking about, will he still be fighting if he if indeed he comes back?
And you look at uh AJ, will they still be around? Who knows? But these two the you know, these two guys will be around.”
Anthony Joshua has been urged to fight Tyson Fury instead of Jake Paul
While Itauma vs Dubois would be huge, a fight between Joshua and Fury is something that the boxing world is desperate to see.
That is why it was so disappointing when rumors of Joshua’s comeback claimed he would face YouTube star Jake Paul, instead of the Gypsy King.
Luckily, Paul booked a fight with Gervonta Davis instead, leaving Joshua open to fight a top Heavyweight when he finally returns to the ring.
Veteran boxing analyst Gareth A. Davies will be pleased, as he urged Joshua to forgo the YouTube fight and instead target an all-star British clash with Fury.
Speaking with IFL TV, Davies said: “It’s a f—— circus. Look, we’re biased. Because we’ve seen this generation [of heavyweights] come through, and it [Joshua vs. Fury] bookends the era — to get Joshua and Fury in a ring together. It bookends the era. There’s no question about it.
“It’s a travesty and a tragedy if it does not happen.”
A fight between the Heavyweight giants would be one of the biggest fights in boxing if it does happen, although the chance of it occurring seems as slim as they’ve ever been.
