Charles Martin desires to combat the unbeaten heavyweight contender Moses Itauma, and he feels he can knock out the extremely hyped 20-year-old. Beating the #5 WBO-ranked Itauma would put Martin able to get a crack at one other belt, and he’s received the facility to do the job on the quick 6’2″, flat-footed contender.
It’s questionable whether or not Itauma’s promoter, Frank Warren, would let the 6’5″ southpaw Charles Martin combat the teenager as a result of he can nonetheless punch, has measurement, and is deadly together with his left hand.
Martin nonetheless has sufficient left to show Itauma as a manufactured hype job, which some boxing followers view him as. He’s not been created solely like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury but, however he appears to be following their blueprint with how he’s being matched.
Itauma (11-0, 9 KOs) is receiving a lot consideration within the UK from British followers, who imagine he’s the following star. Once more, he’s being moved equally to UK heavyweights Joshua and Fury had been early of their careers.
These guys had been by no means pretty much as good as individuals thought, and we’re solely seeing that now with them preventing high quality for the primary time late of their careers. Itauma isn’t pretty much as good as followers assume. Martin would expose that actuality, which is why he’ll doubtless be stored distant from Moses.
The previous IBF champion Martin (30-4-1, 27 KOs) desires one other world title shot after shedding his belt to Anthony Joshua 9 years in the past in 2016.
Can Martin Unmask Itauma?
“I’ll do something to get one other title shot. I fought Jared Anderson on one week’s discover and had him damage a number of instances,” Charles Martin instructed Sky Sports activities. “I’ll knock Moses out with a correct camp.
“He [Itauma] has been stopping everybody fast, however it’s actual completely different when one other puncher is coming again at you. Let’s see if he can take it pretty much as good as he provides it. I can KO anybody on this planet, together with a 20-year-old.”
It’s unlikely that Charles Martin will get an opportunity to combat Itauma as a result of there’s too excessive of a threat of him knocking him out. We already noticed Moses’s brother, Karol Itauma, get knocked out within the fifth spherical by Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna in 2023.
Karol had been receiving every kind of consideration as much as that time from followers, who noticed him as the following gentle heavyweight. However as quickly as he was matched towards an opponent with respectable capability, he was blown out of the water.
