Davies Confuses Moses Itauma With Bizarre Showering Question Before Dillian Whyte Fight"},"content":{"rendered":"

Journalist Gareth A. Davies confused Moses Itauma today during an interview when he asked him if he showers before he fights. The question froze Itauma in his tracks, causing him to look at Gareth to try to understand where he was coming from with this bizarre question.<\/p>\n

The Gareth Davies Showering Inquiry<\/p>\n

Gareth never did explain why he had asked Itauma about his showering, leaving it to him and the fans to interpret the purpose of the question.<\/p>\n

The unbeaten #1 WBO-ranked heavyweight contender Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) is fighting the veteran Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) in the main event on a $49.99 card on DAZN PPV<\/a> on Saturday, August 16th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is a fight that could vault the 20-year-old Itauma into a world title clash against undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk.<\/p>\n

Gareth Davies:<\/a> \u201cDid you shower before you fought then?\u201d<\/p>\n

Moses Itauma: \u201cHuh?\u201d<\/p>\n

Gareth: \u201cNever mind, it\u2019s an in-joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Itauma: \u201cAlright. Anyway, I was thinking while I was in the show that although I\u2019ve got to thank the people, I\u2019ve also got to thank myself for bringing myself to this position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spencer Oliver: \u201cBen [Davison] has full confidence in this young man. Is it a passing of the baton? I believe it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gareth: \u201cDillian Whyte\u2019s decision not to do anything in there. I didn\u2019t see [trainer] Buddy McGirt either.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Whyte Looks So Old<\/p>\n

It was weird. During today\u2019s media workout, Whyte threw a few punches, and that was it. He quickly ended the session. He looked very old. You couldn\u2019t ignore how old he was and how poor his movement was. Dillian\u2019s movement inside the ring resembled a person with arthritis in his legs. It gave him the appearance of a person in their 70s or 80s.<\/p>\n

In watching the workout, all you could say is, bravo to Queensberry for selecting another easy opponent for Moses Itauma to knock over and look like a valuable gem. They know how to pick them. Their matchmakers are on par with Top Rank\u2019s in their ability to select opposition that gives their Queensberry a great chance of winning.<\/p>\n
