Moses Itauma: Frank Warren says British teenager is 'best young heavyweight prospect in years' after Ilja Mezencev win - Eurosport

Moses Itauma

Frank Warren thinks that Moses Itauma is a very talented young heavyweight prospect. He came to this conclusion after witnessing Itauma's impressive victory over Ilja Mezencev. Warren believes that Itauma is the best young heavyweight prospect he has seen in years.

Itauma achieved a significant accomplishment by becoming the WBO intercontinental champion. He is actually one year younger than the age that Mike Tyson reached when he became the youngest heavyweight world champion, but it may be unrealistic to expect him to achieve that same feat.

In an interview with TNT Sports, Warren expressed his hesitation to rapidly promote Itauma in the rankings. However, he also raised the question of who would be courageous enough to challenge his fighter.

Warren expressed that he isn't keen on having a top-10 record as they aim to progress gradually.

Warren added: "I am the champion of the World Junior heavyweight category. I have also won the World Junior European championship. I successfully knocked out all my opponents in the first round."

He is the top young heavyweight prospect in a long time.

The issue lies in discovering a person who can endure his blows.

After his victory, Itauma expressed his joy alongside David Haye. He stated that receiving compliments from a trailblazer like Haye holds great value to him. He is grateful for the praise and always welcomes wise counsel. Itauma acknowledges that he is extremely fortunate.

I've gone down on my knees and showed gratitude to God several times as I acknowledge that I would not have achieved anything without his help. Although I might have worked hard to get where I am, my abilities are nothing without his support.

It demonstrates how appreciative I am. I simply aim to continue working hard for further accomplishments. There are endless opportunities, and I am merely 19 years old.
