But now, in the twilight of his career, Whyte is facing a foe younger than his own child<\/a>, as he steps up against rising prospect Moses Itauma<\/a>.<\/p>\n Itauma stopped Mike Balogun last time out, and blitzed Demsey McKean one fight earlier, doing what took Filip Hrgovic<\/a> 12 rounds in just one.<\/p>\n Years before this fight, though, Whyte stopped boxing\u2019s most durable journeyman back in 2014, a man who would pose prospects an incredibly tough challenge even at the end of his career.<\/p>\n In 2014, in his 12th fight, Whyte faced 1-0 Kamil Sokolowski. Though the records would indicate a mismatch, Sokolowski was a game opponent while the fight lasted, though it did not last long.<\/p>\n In the third round Whyte dropped Sokolowski. The Pole recovered and got back to his feet, but a brutal flurry that ended with a stinging left hook sent him down once more.<\/p>\n Sokolowski would return to his feet, but was deemed unfit to continue by the referee.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Sokolowski, 1-1 after the Whyte loss, lost six of his next seven fights, drawing in the other. The only name of note in that period was Nathan Gorman who Daniel Dubois beat for the British title.<\/p>\n In 2017, however, Sokolowski, 4-10-2, proved his durability as he carried Martin Bakole six rounds. <\/p>\n In 2019, Sokolowski dropped Lucas Browne and was one point away from winning against the Aussie.<\/p>\n In the years that followed, Sokolowski faced Solomon Dacres, Vladyslav Sirenko, Zhan Kossobutskiy, Otto Wallin, Bakhodir Jalolov, Frazer Clarke, and David Adeleye.<\/p>\n Many believe Adeleye lost to Sokolowski, as he scraped a razor-close points win. <\/p>\n Sokolowski also defeated George Fox, the son of Daniel Dubois<\/a>\u2018 trainer, Don Charles.<\/p>\n Boxers predict Dillian Whyte vs Moses Itauma<\/p>\n As Whyte\u2019s career winds down after periods of inactivity, multiple fight withdrawals, a failed PED test, and a series of lackluster opponents, it\u2019s no surprise Itauma is the favorite to win, and it seems most of the boxing world agree.<\/p>\n Lawrence Okolie thinks Itauma will KO Whyte<\/a>, whilst Whyte\u2019s former foe, Dave Allen, believes Itauma is all wrong for \u2018The Bodysnatcher\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whyte\u2019s former coach, Mark Tibbs, believes Itauma will beat Whyte<\/a> too, and it seems the Jamaican-born Londoner is being discounted by the masses.<\/p>\n![\"Dillian](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-867552402-1024x684.jpg\")
