Moses Itauma preparations questioned after defeat to Filip Hrgovic but heavyweight star is backed to become world champion

Moses Itauma's preparations have been questioned following his devastating ninth-round TKO defeat to Filip Hrgovic.

Itauma was the overwhelming favourite heading into the bout but having dominated the opening eight rounds dramatically ran out of gas as he was stopped in the ninth.

Delicious Orie admits he was surprised by Itauma's pre-fight admission that he had not before sparred 12 rounds.
