Teremoana And Moses Itauma On A Collision Course, Promoter Eddie Hearn Targets An Epic 18-Month Battle

The 2024 Olympian Teremoana (8-0, 8 KOs) has knocked out his first eight opponents, however he’s not acquired the identical hype that Itauma has.

“I feel the probabilities of it taking place are most particular. I feel it’s simply given time,” mentioned Teremoana to Australian Boxing Central when requested when a struggle between him and Moses Itauma will occur. “I reckon within the subsequent two or three years, I could be getting that struggle.

Teremoana goes to struggle him, and that’s going to be an amazing struggle. We’re speaking 18 months, and that may be one of many nice fights within the heavyweight division.”

Queensberry Promotions must log off on the thought of their fighter, Itauma, preventing Teremoana. It doesn’t matter if it’s 18 months or three years from now. It’ll should be a struggle that Queensberry agrees to as a result of they’re those that choose the opponents for Itauma. We’ve seen Moses preventing completely older fighters, whom he’s knocked out inside two rounds.
