Moses Itauma has bulldozed his way past heavyweights who were either past their sell-by date or there for the payday. But on Saturday, August 16, 2025, live from Riyadh’s ANB Arena on DAZN PPV, he finally faces a dangerous test: Dillian Whyte.
Whyte may be 37, but the ‘Body Snatcher’ still hits hard, fights rough, and knows every veteran trick in the book. One lazy jab from Itauma could turn into a long night staring up at the lights.
Is Moses Itauma Ready for His First Real Test?
This fight will tell us if Itauma is the real deal or just another hyped “future champion” built on soft opposition. Whyte isn’t here to pad a prospect’s record — he’s here to collect a payday, spoil the party, and prove he can still hurt people at heavyweight.
With Itauma sitting at WBO #1, a win keeps him on the fast track to a world title shot. A loss? That slows the climb for years and puts a dent in his hype that won’t be easy to fix.
