Ahead of last Saturday night, much of the talk centred on whether the 20-year-old heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma has what it takes to become a heavyweight great. Dillian Whyte was seen as a step up in opposition — arguably the first fighter Itauma had faced who posed a real threat to him. However, in less than 120 seconds, Itauma silenced any doubters who suggested he wasn’t ready for an opponent like Whyte. First-round knockout. Job done.

When it comes to boxing, a crossroads fight is often a vital part of not one but two fighters’ careers. One fighter is usually on the up with a huge future ahead of them, while the other faces the bleak prospect of potential retirement if they lose.
