I’ll be back -Itauma

Moses Itauma, the 21-year-old British heavyweight boxer, vowed he would return to the ring after a ninth-round stoppage loss to Filip Hrgovic of Croatia. The fight took place at London's O2 Arena on Saturday, with Itauma dominating much of the match before running out of steam. This marked his first defeat in 15 professional bouts.

Speaking on social media, Itauma admitted, "Sunday it wasn’t my night," attributing the loss to his lack of experience against the more seasoned Hrgovic. The Croatian fighter, 34, used his experience to secure a surprising win in a thrilling contest. Despite not achieving his desired outcome, Itauma expressed gratitude for the experience gained and stated, "God bless, take care, and I’ll be back."
