Top trainer Robert Garcia has named a generational talent who, in his mind, will become the face of heavyweight boxing in the next few years.<\/p>\n
As of now, Oleksandr Usyk is still widely regarded as the top dog, despite coming off a sub-par performance against former kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, the Ukrainian retained his WBC, IBF and WBA titles with an 11th-round stoppage last month, maintaining his position as the bona fide kind of his division.<\/p>\n Usyk cemented this status with two victories over Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois, respectively, crafting a resume that remains unrivalled in the current heavyweight era.<\/p>\n But now, at the age of 39, it seems the two-division undisputed champion could soon be replaced by heavyweight prodigy Moses Itauma.<\/p>\n While yet to test himself at world level, Itauma is widely considered to be a world heavyweight champion in waiting, especially after his fifth-round stoppage of Jermaine Franklin<\/a> in March.<\/p>\n As a leading contender with the WBO and WBA, the 21-year-old is now gearing up to defend his position against Filip Hrgovic, who he will face at London\u2019s O2 Arena on August 29.<\/p>\n
