Moses Itauma stunned fans as he produced a one-round KO over battle-hardened Dillian Whyte.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moses Itauma<\/a> vs Dillian Whyte<\/a> was supposed to answer questions fans had on just how good Itauma is. How well can he take a punch? Can he dig deep when the going gets tough? Can he weather the storm in later rounds?<\/p>\n

None of those were answered, though, as Itauma knocked Whyte out of the fight in just 119 seconds.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old phenom now has his sights set high, with Filip Hrgovic, Martin Bakole, and Jermaine Franklin all options for Itauma<\/a>\u2018s next fight. Itauma even called out Joseph Parker<\/a> and Oleksandr Usyk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As the heavyweight scene, begins to change, with the old guard replaced by the new, there is one Australian heavyweight who sees a collision with Itauma in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Eddie Hearn<\/a> and his Olympian charge Teremoana Teremoana, the Aussie was asked ahead of his next fight whether Itauma is a man he\u2019d like to face.<\/p>\n

Teremoana said, \u201cI think the chances of the fight happening are probably most definite. I think it\u2019s just a given time. I reckon in the next two to three years we might possibly get that fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teremoana, who scored a 57-second KO<\/a>, is now 8-0 as a professional with all eight of his wins coming by way of knockout.<\/p>\n

Just two of his opponents have made it out of the first round, but none have made it out of the second.<\/p>\n

With Joshua<\/a>, Fury<\/a>, Usyk, and more, beginning to fade out, the question remains \u2013 who are the next crop of heavyweight talents?<\/p>\n

From Teremoana to Itauma to Leo Atang, the division seems to be in a good place.<\/p>\n

Eddie Hearn has given another Aussie fighter a big opportunity<\/p>\n

This Saturday, Eddie Hearn<\/a> will be over in Queensland, Australia, for Jake Wyllie vs Youssef Dib.<\/p>\n

Wyllie is now 17-2 after a courageous effort against George Kambosos Jr.<\/a> last time out in a huge step-up fight, and will take on 21-3 Dib who is coming off of two losses to Aussie talent Liam Wilson.<\/p>\n

Wyllie\u2019s last fight with Kambosos ended in a loss, but in his post-fight interview, he pleaded with Hearn for an opportunity, to which Hearn assured him a Matchroom contract would be with him that week,<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I\u2019ll promise to you, you will have a contract on Monday morning from Matchroom boxing. Well done.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aussie took the fight with Kambosos on just five days\u2019 notice, too, having to replace Daud Yordan, who withdrew with illness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moses Itauma stunned fans as he produced a one-round KO over battle-hardened Dillian Whyte.
