British Heavyweight boxer Moses Itauma says he is ready to fight New Zealand WBO Interim Heavyweight Champion Joseph Parker next after delivering a dominant performance to beat fellow Brit Dillian Whyte.
20 year old Itauma delivered a brutal beat down of former title contender Whyte to score a first round knockout win at the ANB Arena in Saudi Arabia.
The win is the biggest in Itauma’s young career and improves his record to 13 wins in 13 fights with 11 of those wins coming by way of knockout.
Speaking after the bout, the 6 foot 4 inch southpaw refused to call out undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for a fight but did so with Parker.
“That’s what I’ve been drilling for 12/13 weeks. I put on a performance for you guys so it’s now who’s next?”
“I don’t want to call out Usyk because I don’t believe I deserve the opportunity but guys that do deserve the opportunity, I want to fight those lot. So maybe Agit Kabayel, maybe Joseph Parker.”
Parker, has won his last six bouts including one over Deontay Wilder but lost to Whyte in 2018. Scroll down to watch Itauma’s knockout win over Dillian Whyte.
