Who is Most Likely to Win?
Moses Itauma is the favorite to win the fight against Dillian Whyte this August due to his unbeaten track record.
The 20-year-old has yet to lose a fight, winning all 12 fights of his professional career, ten of which were by knockout, and many within the first two rounds.
Many boxing experts believe Itauma is the future of the heavyweight division due to his hand speed and incredible knockout power. As he knows how to work the ring and has a southpaw stance to challenge orthodox fighters, he could prove tough to beat.
However, Dillian Whyte’s talents in the ring shouldn’t be underestimated. After all, the boxing veteran has fought some of the biggest fighters in the sport, including Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Alexander Povetkin, and Joseph Parker.
Known as the Body Snatcher, the 37-year-old boxer can deliver an unbelievable left hook or crippling body shot that has caused many opponents to fall to the ground.
Even if Itauma does knock Whyte down, you can rely on him to get back up, as he’s been known to bounce back from powerful blows during various fights.
However, Itauma’s youth, energy, and skill level are expected to give him a huge advantage in the ring this August. Of course, there’s always a possibility that the fight could end up a draw, but it is rare for a heavyweight bout.
