Carl Froch<\/a> has had his say on next week\u2019s battle between Moses Itauma<\/a> and Dillian Whyte<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two men will collide in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on August 16<\/a>, in a crossroads match-up that is set to have big implications for the heavyweight division.<\/p>\n

Rising star Itauma is widely regarded as being one of the most exciting prospects in all of boxing, currently holding an undefeated of 12-0, with 10 of those victories coming by knockout.<\/p>\n

In Itauma\u2019s last three fights, the 20-year-old has dispatched of Mike Balogun, Demsey McKean and Mariusz Wach in quick fashion, stopping each of them inside the opening two rounds.<\/p>\n

As for Whyte, he is looking to once again get back into world title contention, having come up short in his previous crack at a world title when he lost to Tyson Fury in April 2022.<\/p>\n

Whyte does hold wins over the likes of Joseph Parker, Derek Chisora and Alexander Povetkin in his career, but an issue surrounding a positive drugs test has meant he has been inactive in recent years, competing just three times since that loss to Fury.<\/p>\n

With just days left to go until fight night, former super-middleweight king Froch had had his say on the Itauma vs. Whyte showdown, making an emphatic prediction on his Froch On Fighting YouTube channel.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDillian Whyte I think is about finished. He\u2019s up to fight Moses Itauma as well. I think Moses is going to absolutely outclass and probably flatten Dillian Whyte and that\u2019ll be the end of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whyte will be hoping to proven Froch wrong in the fight with Itauma, and recent footage of \u2018The Bodysnatcher\u2019 in the gym appears to show him in tremendous shape.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carl Froch has had his say on next week\u2019s battle between Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte.
