If unbeaten, hugely promising heavyweight Moses Itauma is having trouble finding himself a suitable next opponent, another young and undefeated heavyweight has put his name forward to fill the void. As per a news story from Sky Sports<\/a>, Richard Torrez, who is seen by some people as the best young heavyweight in the US, says he would fight Itauma next.<\/p>\n

Torrez says he wants to \u201csee who the best heavyweight is,\u201d and that\u2019s not just as far as the US and the UK. Torrez says he wants to find out who the best heavyweight in the world is. Torrez, who won a silver medal at the Olympics and is 13-0(11) as a pro and is, like Itauma, a southpaw, says he wants Itauma, and he has made it clear he would definitely fight him in England.<\/p>\n

Torrez Says He\u2019ll Travel to the UK for Itauma<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t duck any smoke. I\u2019m here for the action, and I want that competition,\u201d Torrez said. \u201cWe\u2019re fighting for the entire planet, let\u2019s see who\u2019s the baddest man. I really want that fight (with Itauma). I\u2019m here, I\u2019m ready. I think the funny thing is you see all these guys calling out Anthony Joshua, you see all these guys calling out the older guys. I\u2019m out here calling out Itauma. I want that fight. Two guys that are in the prime of their careers and working hard to be someone. I think this is the spot and the time to show who\u2019s who.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some fans may feel it would be better for this fight to be left to marinate, to be allowed to grow, maybe until one or even both men hold a world title. But as far as right now, sure, we\u2019d watch this fight in 2026, and we\u2019d watch it with great interest and excitement. Not too many fighters are calling out Itauma, 13-0(11), but here is 26-year-old Torrez doing just that.<\/p>\n

Will Frank Warren Answer the Call?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see if Frank Warren and Itauma\u2019s team have any interest in answering the call Torrez is making.<\/p>\n

\u201c1000 percent, the UK fans are amazing, you guys are incredible. I don\u2019t care about getting booed a little,\u201d Torrez said as far as his willingness to fight Itauma in the UK.<\/p>\n

It seems the ball is now in Itauma\u2019s court regarding this fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If unbeaten, hugely promising heavyweight Moses Itauma is having trouble finding himself a suitable next opponent, another young…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":248119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-248118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
