Dillian Whyte vs. Moses Itauma | PPV - 16 August 2025

[tony1234]

Whyte is shot to bits, that's why he got the call. This should be all over within a round, and the hype job will continue.

Like an early Frank Bruno job, get someone with a name that looks good when they're KO'D in the first round or so

[chinarich]

This fight does absolutely nothing for Itauma, unless Whyte can suddenly start fighting like it's 2018 again...

In the Bruno days, Americans would be shipped in and the general public had no idea they would be coming here with a string of ko losses, Big Frank chins them and Harry Carpenter goes mental proclaiming Bruno as back and ready for yet another world title shot.

Looks like Moses, the chosen one, is at a dangerous stage of his career: mainly for his opponents, but also for him.

Watching his last fight, you can see he’s at that stage where he thinks he’s invincible. He can’t believe he’s going to lose and some of the shots heading his way he seemed to be ignoring.
They didn’t land ( he was a football player for God sake ) but he’s gotta reign in the risk-taking, especially at heavyweight.

Whyte is shot ta f*ck, But still dangerous while he’s standing, which shouldn't be too long on fight night.

I smell a mucky piss coming. Whyte looks in shape

Probably on Mounjaro

Just been having a bit of a rewatch of Whyte to try to find some positives, and to be fair I wouldn’t say he looked that much worse vs Tetteh than vs Franklin for example. Just overweight / unmotivated.

If Dillian has got a chip on his shoulder for this one it might be a half decent spectacle.

I’d still have preferred Whyte v Adeleye, Hrg v Moses though. That could have been a cracking little double header.

I saw that too.and was alarmed. Ultimately I don't trust Boxercise Ben. Moses could well walk on to one on the 16th

The fact Dubois and Fraser Clark both got Tetteh out in less than a round doesn't bother you?
Man, that fight with Whyte was an excruciating 7 rounds

I mean we could just look at who beat who and how quickly they did it. But trying to be a bit more positive, chubby Dilliian still managed to throw 600 punches in 7 rounds, it’s not all doom and gloom.

I’ve never been much of a fan of Whyte, and he doesn’t appear to be a one punch threat going into this one granted, but I still say it’s possible he gets to ask Moses some difficult questions if he’s in better shape.

Aww man!
But that's how I judge how good someone is.
Who beat who, how they beat them, and how quickly.
Sometimes it's how they lost as well.
Whyte may have thrown a lot of punches but his timing was off and Tetteh was right there to be hit.

Yes, he looks leaner than I've ever seen him.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Kilburn]

Damn see Kiwi this is looking closer to a pick ‘em as each day passes.

[stujones]

Whyte looks awful in that footage, lean yes but awful

yay, sign me up for the PPV, I just can't wait for the 6 minute YouTube full fight coverage

[Kilburn]

All jokes aside Stu I don’t think Dillian was attempting to show his best stuff there.

Well Whyte goes on through the article about how he isn't done.

He will get a short glimpse of him Saturday

[MightyWarrior]

Well I’ve heard trainers come out with some dumb things before, but this one takes the cake
