Moses Itauma: I want Oleksandr Usyk to fight Daniel Dubois and me! I want to share the ring with him Boxing news

Moses Itauma is grateful for the praise of Oleksandra Usyk, but he would still like to fight the United World Champion in heavy weight.

Ituma is only 20 years old, but he was so impressed by his rapid growth in the ranks that even Usyk identified the British as a potential successor as the future world champion.

“When I hear something like this, I usually pushes it aside,” said Ituma Sky Sports. “There is no favor if I listen to him, so I have to block it.

“But when he says something like this, it really caught my attention, just because he did absolutely everything you can in this sport.

“I will do it three times soon if he fights Daniel (Dubois for the unquestioned crown). So he said he was very big and I appreciate Uyk and I am his fan. But he says it’s big. It actually means something.

“Because he knows. Knows talent. Talent requires talent and I think he knows. “

Talking with Sky Sports In the Chinois Park, Itauma added: “I don’t do it for the praise of Usyk. I do it for myself and my family.

“But at the same time I definitely appreciate it. I have to go and prove it now. It exerts great pressure on my arms. “

Ituma has high expectations of herself. After the ignition of Desey McKean in the first round in his last competition, The Rising Star thinks he is two fights – “two proper fights” – away from boxing for the title of world champion.

Usyk said earlier Sky Sports That he expects it to be twice as much in his career. This means that it is unlikely to pass paths directly with Itaum.

The young British believes that Usyk will fight the title of IBF Daniel Dubois, and then Joseph Parker. “But I want it to be Dubois and me. It would be good, “said Ituma.

“Just saying that I shared a ring with him would be nice. Because I divided the ring with Dubois (in sparring), I divided the ring with (Anthony) Joshua, I shared the ring with (Martin) Bakole, (Joe) Joyce, Tyson (Fury). All I have to do not have Usyk, so I was nice to share the ring with it – whether it’s a sparring or a fight.
