    Itauma beats Whyte by stoppage

    I said Whyte didn't look confident on his ring walk. Maybe he was nervous? Maybe he knew what was coming?

    That was special from Itauma and he is the real deal.

    Itauma beats Whyte by stoppage

    Itauma hurt Whyte and the 20-year-old couldn't miss with Whyte rocking on the ropes.

    It's a hard right hook that sends Whyte crashing to the canvas as Itauma picks his punches perfectly.

    It really is stunning.

    10 rounds, what? Three titles on the line in a 10 round fight. Joke.

    We are under way as Whyte keeps his distance early on.

    Whyte doesn’t have the best defence. And I am unsure how much durability his chin has now. I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if he lasts more than three rounds.

    Itauma v Whyte

    There is a huge 17 year age gap between Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte tonight.

    Would you have been brave enough to get in the ring with Whyte at the age of 20?

  9. The numbers favour Whytepublished at 22:29 British Summer Time 16 August

    Itauma v Whyte

    For those of you who love numbers, it may look as though everything points towards a Dillian Whyte win.

    But, at 17 years older than Moses Itauma, Whyte is bound to outweigh him in terms of experience.

    Let's see what happens in the ring.

    Anyone think we could see a first round KO here or no chance?

    Itauma has been amazing, and is future is going to be great, yes. However, this is a massive step up from that he has done. How much disrespect has Whyte had with everyone saying he’ll lose? Please, Whyte could easily win this, Whyte is a proven quality boxer, he doesn’t deserve being written off like he has been.

    Have to say there isn't much confidence on the face of Dillian Whyte right now as he enters the ring.

    Itauma v Whyte

    I am a big fan of Dillian Whyte having the Jaws music for the start of his ring walk. Must be a bit scary standing in the ring waiting for him with ACDC now ringing around the arena.

    I'm excited for this one!

  14. Whyte in fine shapepublished at 22:24 British Summer Time 16 August

    Itauma v Whyte

    Despite all the talk about Dillian Whyte's inactivity, he's got himself in cracking shape, hasn't he?

    He's most definitely not just here to make up the numbers.

    Itauma v Whyte

    Dillian Whyte has now been in the dressing room for two and half minutes but it looks as though he'll be making his walk now.

    Itauma v Whyte

    Moses Itauma doesn't look too happy with being made to wait for Dillian Whyte as he starts to stretch his legs out.

    Maybe it's not too wise making Itauma angry...

    Itauma v Whyte

    According to DAZN, Dillian Whyte is still in his changing room.

    He knows all the tricks does the 37-year-old.

    Classic.

  18. 'Perfect piece of matchmaking'published at 22:20 British Summer Time 16 August

    This is the fight we get to find out the things we don't know about Itauma. How good is his chin? What does he do when he's in the trenches? But I don't know if Dillian will get the opportunity to do that. With his inactivity, age and the quickness of Itauma's feet, it's a nightmare match-up for Whyte.

    I think it's the perfect piece of matchmaking.

    Prediction - Itauma
