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.
