Moses Itauma may already have a fight lined up against Filip Hrgovic on August 29th on DAZN PPV, but that didn\u2019t stop the IBF from ordering his next title fight.<\/p>\n
Itauma is one of the fastest rising stars in the sport, racking up an impressive 14-0 record with 12 knockouts (see a couple here<\/a> and here<\/a>). More recently, the 21 year-old British brawler retained his WBA International and WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight titles by defeating Jermaine Franklin via fifth round TKO<\/a> earlier this year, his tenth straight knockout win.<\/p>\n As for Sanchez, he is fresh of a sizzling destruction of Richard Torrez, stopping him in the second round two months ago in front of the Pyramids of Giza (see it again here<\/a>). The win improved his record to 26-1 and secured him his 19th stoppage win. A win over Itauma would be a huge resume booster for Sanchez, though we still have to wait and see of Hrgovic doesn\u2019t stun the boxing community before he has the chance to.<\/p>\n There has been a lot of action and movement in the Heavyweight division over the last few months, from epic brawls between aging fighters trying to turn back the hands of time<\/a>, to potential future super fights being put at risk with unnecessary tune-up fights such as this one<\/a> and this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n
