Moses Itauma crushed an opponent with significantly more experience.

Going into the bout, ‘The Body Snatcher’ undeniably has more experience than the prospect. However, while Dave Allen thinks Whyte will surprise people against Itauma, most fans are expecting the 20-year-old to destroy his rival.
And that’s because of the sensational performances he’s produced inside the ring.

Moses Itauma ruthlessly finished Ilja Mezencev
On May 18, 2024, Moses Itauma battled it out with Ilja Mezencev, inside the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
His opponent, who held a record of 25-3, was expected to give the Brit his toughest test to date. But when the first bell chimed, the disparity in talent was evident.
In the opening round, Mezencev tasted his rival’s power, in the form of a huge left hand, and only just stayed on his feet.
Alas, he wasn’t so lucky in the second.
Itauma detonated a thunderous right hand that sent the German crashing towards the canvas.
Bravely, Mezencev beat the count, but with his legs all over the place, the referee called a halt to the contest.
