Oleksandr Usyk vs. Moses Itauma: Heavyweight Clash Could Happen in Late 2025

The boxing world is buzzing with speculation as talks intensify around a potential showdown between the reigning unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk and British rising star Moses Itauma — a bout that could take place as early as late 2025.

Usyk’s Reign: The Pound-for-Pound Master

Oleksandr Usyk, the Ukrainian master technician, has already cemented his legacy as one of the greatest cruiserweights and heavyweights of his generation. Following his stunning victories over Anthony Joshua and his current pursuit of undisputed status, Usyk remains at the pinnacle of the sport. With his signature footwork, boxing IQ, and granite chin, he has proven nearly impossible to solve inside the ring.

Moses Itauma: The Heavyweight Phenomenon

At just 20 years old, Moses Itauma is rapidly climbing the professional ranks with an undefeated record and an aura of invincibility. Dubbed by many as a future world champion, Itauma has showcased exceptional power, agility, and composure beyond his years. Under the guidance of promoter Frank Warren, Itauma’s rise has been carefully managed, but his dominant performances suggest he may be ready for a world-title challenge sooner rather than later.

Frank Warren Hints at 2025 Superfight

In a recent interview, veteran promoter Frank Warren teased the boxing community with the possibility of an Usyk vs. Itauma clash before the end of 2025. Warren believes Itauma could become a “once-in-a-generation” heavyweight, and a bout against Usyk would be the ultimate litmus test for the young Brit.

“If Moses keeps developing the way he is, and Usyk is still active, the fight could absolutely happen before 2025 is out,” Warren hinted.

Why This Fight Could Redefine the Heavyweight Division

A match between Usyk and Itauma would pit experience against youth, technical brilliance against raw power, and a future legend against a modern great. The timing seems ideal: Usyk, likely seeking a final blockbuster bout before retirement, and Itauma, eager to announce his arrival on the world stage.

Usyk vs. Itauma: Early Predictions

  • Usyk’s advantage: Superior ring IQ, unmatched movement, and championship experience.

  • Itauma’s advantage: Youth, size, knockout power, and hunger for greatness.

Boxing fans can expect fireworks if the bout is officially signed. Whether Usyk’s experience or Itauma’s youthful explosiveness prevails, the matchup promises to be one of the most anticipated heavyweight showdowns in years.

This potential 2025 bout could mark the passing of the torch — or another chapter in Usyk’s legendary career. Stay tuned.

‘No, No, No!” Tyson Fury Has Now Completely Ruled Out Ever Facing One Heavyweight

Tyson Fury has admitted there is one man he will never face in the heavyweight ring

There have been heavyweights before who have refused to face one another, most recently the Klitschko brothers Vitali and Wladimir.

Both were world champions who ruled over the division but they always said that out of their respect for their mother, they would not do battle in the squared circle.

Former world champion Fury, who is currently in camp for his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk in December, has also said in the past that he would never face his gym mate Joseph Parker because they are too close outside of the ring.

Now, speaking to TNT Sports, he has ruled out ever competing with one other fellow banner division talent, and that is young Moses Itauma.

“No, definitely not! Do you think I’m stupid? No, no no…”

Fury used southpaw Itauma for sparring for his first fight with Usyk back in May and at the time he lavished him with praise, even going so far as to say on an Instagram post at the time that he ‘is the future of the heavyweight division.’

Itauma has long stated his desire to beat Mike Tyson’s record and become the youngest-ever world champion. He has roughly a year left to achieve that and has made quick progress in the pro ranks beating 10 men so far, 8 of them by stoppage, including Mariusz Wach most recently in July.

He has also racked up plenty of quick knockouts, much like Tyson, including stopping Ramon Ibarra in his second professional fight inside the first 35 seconds.
