Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic: World title would earn British rising star sporting icon status, says Frank Warren

Moses Itauma can secure sporting icon status that transcends boxing if he completes his historic world title ascent, says Frank Warren.

Itauma fights Croatian Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight world title at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.

The undefeated 21-year-old has swept aside all those placed in front of him throughout his 14-fight career and stands on the brink of a historic victory that could shape the heavyweight division for a generation.

Aged 21 years, eight months and one day on fight night, victory would see Itauma become Britain's youngest heavyweight world champion and the second-youngest in history behind Mike Tyson.
