Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KO) returns to the ring in December, and after a series of quick knockouts, he has put his promoter Frank Warren in a dilemma regarding the opponent and finding an ideal option for himself.
For retired Tony Bellew, a former world champion in the cruiserweight division and former heavyweight, he has his favorite. He would have loved to see his 20-year-old compatriot in a fight with Andy Ruiz (35-2-1, 22 KO).
“Moses, first of all, needs to start getting to the sixth round, and that should be a priority for his team. Because as long as he doesn’t reach a deeper distance, he cannot be considered a favorite in fights with really top heavyweights. I have no doubt that he’s a great guy, but we don’t know how good he really is, and where his limits are? That’s why, in my opinion, Andy Ruiz would be the perfect dance partner right now. He would give a great fight, would come to the ring to win, and would be the best opponent at this stage of Moses’s career,” Bellew stated.
