Hold on a INTER WOR Mo WBO MOCRACY

ITAUMA TOLD TO PLAY THE OLE WAITING GAME

- by JIM VAN WIJK

MOSES ITAUMA should go one step at a time in the heavyweight ranks rather than risk getting hurt by taking a showdown with Oleksandr Usyk "too early".

Chatham southpaw Itauma extended his perfect record through 13 professional fights with an impressive first-round knockout of British rival Dillian Whyte in Riyadh on Saturday.

The 20-year-old's devastating performance against the former WBC interim heavyweight champion led to Tyson Fury claiming that Itauma would beat undisputed world heavyweight champion Usyk.
