interview with Seconds Out<\/a>, Price explained why he believes both Warren and the fans should be \u2018patient\u2019 with that potential match-up, stating that Itauma is not ready for such an arduous test at this point in his career.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t think that it will happen, because Frank Warren promotes the two of them, it is not going to happen for a long time and rightly so.<\/p>\n
\u201cDubois is 28 [years old], Itauma is 21, that is not going to happen until it is worth what Fury-Joshua is looking towards now or just around that. So, they are not going to do that just yet, I think.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom an opinion point of view, I would keep Moses Itauma away from Daniel Dubois just now. I don\u2019t think that he is ready for him yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at Dubois\u2019 r\u00e9sum\u00e9, who he has beaten, who he has lost to, what he has experienced and all of that. Moses Itauma doesn\u2019t need to fight someone like that just yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will happen and when it does happen it will be much bigger than it is now, but we need to patient with that one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Itauma is set to headline the O2 Arena on August 8 before making his US debut<\/a> toward the end of the 2026 calendar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following on from Daniel Dubois\u2019 dramatic knockout win over Fabio Wardley, fans are discussing an \u2018in-house\u2019 first defence…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":579952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-579951","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\/579951","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=579951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/579951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/579952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=579951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=579951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=579951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
