Itauma 'million times better' than Fury and Joshua - Hamed
British boxing legend Prince Naseem Hamed has described Moses Itauma as "a million times better" than Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.
Former boxing champion Prince Naseem Hamed has hailed Moses Itauma as a "million times better" than heavyweight rivals Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The 21-year-old British fighter, unbeaten in 14 professional bouts, is set to challenge Croatian contender Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF heavyweight title at London's O2 Arena on Saturday.
Hamed, 52, expressed confidence in Itauma's potential, stating that Joshua and Fury would likely shy away from a fight against him. If Itauma defeats Hrgovic, he would become the second-youngest heavyweight world champion, surpassing Mike Tyson's record. Hamed, who was British boxing's youngest world champion at age 21, is not focused on records but rather on Itauma fulfilling his potential and becoming the heavyweight champion of the world.
