Former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has predicted how a showdown between rising star Moses Itauma<\/a> and two-time world champion Tyson Fury<\/a> would play out.<\/p>\n

Itauma dispatched of Jermaine Franklin with relative ease on Saturday night<\/a>, becoming the first man to knock the Michigan contender out, despite Franklin having previously fought the likes of Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Itauma hype train has shifted up a gear and is gathering momentum ahead of another appearance in July and a potential world title challenge before the end of the calendar.<\/p>\n

Speaking to his YouTube channel<\/a> about a possible clash between Itauma and Fury, Froch revealed that he would pick Itauma to defeat \u2018The Gypsy King\u2019 right now, irrespective of their difference in accomplishments and experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only one that you can mention there is Tyson Fury and Tyson Fury is well past his best. Tyson is coming back against [Arslanbek] Makhmudov, so we\u2019ll have a look at what he looks like on Netflix, but Moses vs Tyson, who you got?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got to say Moses, young, fresh, fast, solid, and he can punch. Let\u2019s have a look what Tyson Fury has got, but this is how much I am rating Moses at the minute. He is 21 years old, let\u2019s just enjoy the journey, because I don\u2019t think that he is going anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fury fights Makhmudov next Saturday<\/a>, as he returns to action after 16 months of inactivity, looking to prove that he is still Britain\u2019s best heavyweight and that he is well capable of becoming a three-time world champion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch has predicted how a showdown between rising star Moses Itauma and two-time world…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":507359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-507358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=507358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/507358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/507359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=507358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=507358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
