So about $60-$99 here in the US

I can wait 24 hours & watch it for free.

It's been a while but I don't remember Hughie ever looking hurt. Has he been?

And he has his man strength now.

Think Franks gonna nurse him for a fair while yet and throw Fabio to the wolves , For me Moses should be in the fights Fabio is in , OK he's only 20 but he's a mature 20 with a solid back ground

Imagine if Hughie won a wide UD by prodding and poking on the outside

He doesn't have the background, though. He never had a senior amateur bout. He needs hard rounds.

Fabio's almost 31, mate.

I get what you were saying but comparing a 20 year olds career path with a 30 year olds isn't a great indicator.

Plenty of time of Moses to keep learning different styles.

Fabio is banging on the door now. He's been a pro 8 1/2 years. Moses less than 3.

Fabio is now or never, despite his progress being outstanding because of when he started

Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑15 Oct 2025, 06:34 WBA Order Kubrat Pulev-Moses Itauma In 'Regular' Title Defence, Nov. 14 Deadline

The WBA have today officially ordered current WBA 'Regular' champion Kubrat Pulev to defend his secondary world title against Moses Itauma.

The 20-year-old (13-0, 11 KOs) has pitched stoppage wins over America's overmatched Mike Balogun and longtime contender Dillian Whyte so far this year, but recently rejected a request to face Frank Sanchez (25-1, 18 KOs) in an IBF-mandated title eliminator.

The two sides now have 30 days, until November 14, to reach an agreement before purse bids are called.

This news comes at the expense of Michael Hunter, who was originally on the cusp of challenging Pulev before entertaining a high-stakes matchup with Jarrell Miller as part of the Canelo-Crawford fight week festivities last month. Their proposed bout fell apart at the 11th hour and now, the sanctioning body has rescinded the American's favourable position.

Pulev (32-3, 14 KOs) and Hunter failed to provide them with signed contracts for their matchup, with the former's untimely correspondence delaying a bout first awarded in May that would later fall through.

Hunter (24-1-2, 17 KOs) now moves back of the line while No. 1-rated Itauma assumes the position, provided he accepts their order.

The Ring's 2024 Prospect of the Year has taken the heavyweight division by storm following a string of knockout victories against steady increases in competition.

His first-round finish of former WBC interim titleholder Whyte (31-4, 23 KOs) on August 16 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia headlined a show and allegedly later confirmed there are plans for him to do so again, two weeks before his 21st birthday in Manchester on December 13.

Pulev has gone on a three-fight win streak since being outpointed by Derek Chisora in July 2022 via 10-round split decision. When last seen, the 44-year-old scored a wide points win over Mahmoud Charr last December 7 in his native Bulgaria.

At 44 years old, out of the ring for over a year by the time of the fight, and flat rather than fleet footed, I'm not convinced that Pulev will be able to keep 20 year old Ituama off him.

I get that they want to build Ituama's profile and another highlight reel ko will assist with that, but I'm not sure he will develop much from this fight.

Why do people keep thinking he needs to "develop"

At some point he's gonna be in plenty of fights that are going to force him to either get better or get beat.

If he's still being treated like a carefully matched fringe contender come this time next year it will indeed be quite annoying, but as is he's so much younger than everyone else in the division, and still is like 5 or 6 years away from what should be his physical prime.

Being former World Title Challengers are good notches to add to the record. I personally think he needs to be Usyk's next opponent if it ain't Joseph Parker.

gilgamesh wrote: ↑15 Oct 2025, 14:02 I don't think Wilder had even gone beyond like 5 rounds before the first time he went 12 right?

Now granted he couldn't box worth a damn , but I think even if Itauma retired tomorrow he's already shown more technical skill than Wilder ever did.

It's there. He'll go rounds when he has to. I don't think going rounds necessarily needs to be a major concern. Hell you can have him go 15 or 20 rounds in the gym with fresh opponents if you need to confirm his stamina.
