What up talking fight fans thanks for tuning in to today’s episode of knuckle up with yours? Truly Mike Orr? I’M a man, Cedric Ben, do what we do best and that’s prospects baby, it’s Monday and we got a big one for you, guys super heavyweight Prospect: Moses ituma, the younger brother of Carol ituma.
Yes guys.
He has just signed a long-term promotional contract with Queensbury promotions, Frank Warren.
This kid is wasting no time at all guys getting into the paid ranks 24-0 in his amateur career, four-time national champ, European Gold, World gold.
This kid highly decorated, amateur now means business.
Kid has been sparring top Elite athlete heavyweights since being in high school men showing up to the sparring sessions in his school uniform.
The names I’m talking about are Joe Joyce, Daniel Dubois.
You know Anthony Joshua.
The list goes on of big guys that this kid has been inspiring since his high school days.
Man and now has just signed a promotional contract with Queensbury Cedric.
I know you’ve been watching these fights.
Let’S talk about it, man, let’s, let’s break it down for these people and explain uh yeah man, thanks for putting me on to this guy did a little bit of research on him.
Looked at a couple of his fights shout out to last Bell.
So what up Carl, what up Carl from last bell um, but this guy Moses itoma, this guy is uh, something else I you know I just I typed up his name just started watching his last fight, which was just about a month ago at the youth World Championships, first of all, I’d even read – I just saw you – I just saw championships, so I just clicked it on saw the way he was fighting, see the Way South Paul the way he’s staying light on his toes and being able to make his opponent Miss and Stuff like that and come back and just uh um, just a comparison like I, like his skills, remind me of like uh when I was talking when I talk about Shakur Stevenson when he was young like he was his boxing skills were like more mature for his Age and then so, then I looked closely and I realized it was the youth World Championships and and then that looked closely at his age – and he just is only 17 17 years old.
You just told me he just turned 18 at the end of December um, and then I looked again and I realized he was a super heavyweight.
This kid is gon na, be something else.
Um of course, Carl’s gon na be bragging about him.
Um coming be coming from the UK and rightfully so this guy Moses, Enrico itoma is, is his skills are very good, like I said, offense and defense, I think you know.
For me, everyone knows I’m a defensive guy.
So when I say like his, his skills are mature for his age.
I’M not just talking about his offense like the way he’s making his opponent Miss blocking and counter punching our our next level, especially for a 17 year old, and you said all those names that you said that he sparred with he just turned 18 a month ago.
So all those people that you said that he sparred with this was when he was like 16 17 years old.
He says he says he remembers.
He says he remembers uh, showing up to the sparring session to the gym in his school uniform to get ready to spar, Joyce and Oakley and uh.
You know he’s also sparred Anthony Joshua, he sparred uh.
You know Daniel Dubois he’s been in there with Elite heavyweights.
Man uh Frank Warren, believes this kid is going to be the future of the British heavyweight division.
Uh.
The kid definitely has some serious skills.
Man uh.
You know the kid canceled his own 18th birthday party so that he can keep himself in line with the with with trying to break the record of Mike Tyson becoming the youngest heavyweight champ in the world.

He recently signed with who sorry Frank, Warren Frank Warren, multi, multi-real yo, this kid.
This kid was six foot four.
At 14 years old, okay, kid’s, a monster um.
You know a lot of kids when, when sometimes most kids, when they grow tall, that early they’re they’re, uncoordinated and not really athletic so for him to to, especially in boxing where are those things that are extra important other sports, you can kind of develop slowly as Far as competition when you’re competing in boxing no matter what age you are, it’s it’s, you know learning on the job, real quick, so for him to have that whatever growth spurt that he had and to maintain his or in you know, uh um improve and build Lettucism is something that’s very good, so he already has a good body awareness of himself yeah, so we could really just focus on the skills.
This kid is going to be something yeah, yeah yeah.
He will need a few easy fights to ease in uh to get him over the you know to North America, but yeah, you know, listen, listen to.
