Leo Atang: I've got to live up to what Moses Itauma's done. It's a pressure that's been forced on me

A top heavyweight prospect, like Leo Atang, is now under pressure.

Moses Itauma turned professional as a teenager and now, still only 21 years old, has firmly established himself as a world-level contender in rapid time.

That high-speed ascension has set a modern precedent, but one that not every heavyweight should follow.

Atang is just 19 years old and is going into his sixth professional fight in Liverpool this Saturday. He is a promising talent, with a 100 percent knockout ratio so far.

But he's at pains to point out his progression won't be the same as teen wonderkid Itauma.
