Moses Itauma on track for world heavyweight title fight after Filip Hrgovic, expects Daniel Dubois showdown next year

Moses Itauma is on course to fight for a heavyweight world title before his 22nd birthday.

Itauma turns 22 on December 28 of this year and by then should have fought for a world championship.

The young Briton is highly ranked by the WBO and the WBC so could put himself in position to challenge for either of those championship belts.

Oleksandr Usyk must box mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel next to remain the WBC titlist. But if he chooses to rematch Rico Verhoeven instead, a route to that title would open up for Itauma.

First though he must beat Filip Hrgovic in their August 29 clash at the O2 arena in London.
