Rising heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma will return to motion this Saturday in a step-up battle towards once-beaten Demsey McKean, and the 19-year-old British southpaw is making clear that he doesn’t need to get forward of himself.
As will probably be the case with many critical UK heavyweight prospects within the coming years, Itauma (10-0, 8 KO) has heard comparisons to Anthony Joshua, and he says that whereas it’s good to listen to, he doesn’t imagine he’s confirmed something critical but within the boxing world.
“I imply, it’s good to check your self towards a two-time heavyweight champion. Clearly I haven’t proved nothing but,” he stated. “It’s good to listen to this stuff, however everyone’s on their very own path and I’m right here to set my very own path additionally.”
McKean (22-1, 14 KO) is a fellow southpaw, which might generally journey up younger lefties, and the 6’6” Aussie isn’t any pushover. He was stopped in his final battle by Filip Hrgovic in Aug. 2023, however he’ll be the perfect opponent {the teenager} has confronted as a professional to this point.
And McKean, 34, isn’t set but to surrender on his personal massive goals.
“Clearly, I need to contend for a world title myself, so coming away with an enormous win right here towards Moses goes to propel me right into a world title battle,” McKean stated. “All eyes on Moses first come Saturday night time. I want to return away with an excellent efficiency, look good doing so, and ensure I get one other return invite right here.”
