Big-hitting Moses has touch of Iron

- by CHRIS MCKENNA

DAVID HAYE says Moses Itauma’s stunning rise in the sport has reminded him of Mike Tyson’s early days.

But the two-weight world champion has told the heavyweight sensation he doesn’t need to become a motormouth to be a superstar of the sport.

Itauma, 20, is 12-0 and steps up against world title challenger Dillian Whyte in Riyadh tomorrow night.

It's a bold move at such an early stage of his career but with 10 KOs on his record and a nonchalant attitude to his own rise, Haye believes it is reminiscent of the early days of Tyson.
