‘I think Dillian Whyte batters him’… Moses Itauma is going to lose for the first time, says former heavyweight star

Dillian Whyte is going to defeat Moses Itauma, according to an ex-boxer.

Later tonight, the pair of heavy hitters will battle it out inside the ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

While Dave Allen thinks Whyte will surprise people against Itauma, very few are outright picking the British-Jamaican to actually win.

However, one man who has fought Anthony Joshua, Derek Chisora and Lucas Browne, is expecting the upset.

Dillian Whyte will beat Moses Itauma, says Paul Butlin

Paul Butlin is very confident that Dillian Whyte will get the better of Moses Itauma.

The former Midlands Area heavyweight champion thinks ‘The Body Snatcher’ simply knows too much for his rival.

In a video uploaded to his TikTok page, the retired boxer said: “I think Dillian Whyte is going to batter him.

“I just think he’s too big, he’s been in the game too long, and the kid (Moses Itauma) is too fresh. I don’t think he’s had enough experience.

“I could be wrong. In boxing, it takes one shot, and we know this kid can bang.

“But what’s he like under pressure? Dillian Whyte is going to bring the pressure. I don’t think you lot understand how Dillian Whyte is. We’ve seen an up-and-coming kid knocking a load of kids out, but hasn’t really been tested.”

Dillian Whyte addresses rumor Moses Itauma was dropped in sparring

In his career thus far, Itauma has looked nothing short of sensational.

Blessed with dynamite hands and an innate boxing IQ, the warrior looks very capable of becoming a world champion.

However, rumblings from the gym indicate that the 20-year-old might not have had the best of camps for his upcoming bout.

Interestingly, Whyte gave his opinion on rumors Itauma has been dropped in sparring.
