On January 28, at the boxing evening of Frank Warren in London, he will make his debut in the professional ring Moses Itauma. The 18-year-old boy, who is predicted to have a great future, says he wants to break Mike Tyson's record and become the youngest champion of the royal division in history. "Iron" Mike won the WBC title at the age of 20 years, 4 months and 22 days.

“My career should develop in small steps, but these steps must be taken quickly. My goal is to be the youngest heavyweight champion and I want to achieve it in 2025,” said the talented southpaw signed to Queensberry Promotions.

The name of Itauma's opponent at the January tournament has not yet been officially announced. The main event of the evening will be a fight for three light heavyweight belts between Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs) and Anthony Yarde (23-2, 22 KOs).
