Young Heavyweight Boxer, Moses Itauma, Hopes to Spar with Tyson Fury
Moses Itauma, an 18-year-old heavyweight boxer from Kent, is hoping that Tyson Fury secures a fight with Oleksandr Usyk so that he can finally spar with the WBC Gypsy King. Itauma, who is also a southpaw like Usyk, believes that he would be an ideal sparring partner for Fury.
Anthony Joshua Missed Out on a Talented Sparring Partner
Itauma believes that Anthony Joshua missed an opportunity by not having him as his main sparring partner for his losses to Usyk. Itauma, who has trained with top fighters like Daniel Dubois and Lawrence Okolie, wants to gain experience by sparring with Fury.
Itauma Hopes to Learn from Fury
Itauma hopes that Fury will invite him for sparring once the fight with Usyk is confirmed. He believes that sparring is the best way to learn and improve his skills, and that sparring with top fighters like Fury will help him develop as a boxer.
Itauma's Recent Wins Criticized
Despite his recent wins going the distance, some critics have been questioning Itauma's performance. However, Itauma explains that he is learning on the job and taking on tough opponents in order to prepare for future world title runs.
Showing Respect to Ukrainian Boxers
Itauma acknowledges the toughness of Ukrainian boxers, as his last opponent and Adam Azim's recent opponent were both Ukrainians. He recognizes the challenges that Ukrainian fighters are facing and admires their determination.
Overall, Itauma believes that going the distance in fights and learning from tough opponents is more valuable than winning in a quick fashion. He is determined to continue developing his skills and hopes to spar with Fury in the near future.
