The atmosphere was electric as Moses Itauma stepped into the ring, eyes fixed on his opponent, Istvan Bernath. From the first bell, Itauma took charge, launching a series of jabs that quickly established his dominance. But it wasn’t just the jabs that caught everyone’s attention. In a swift, masterful move, he delivered a rapid hook, flooring Bernath to the canvas. As the crowd roared, Itauma didn’t let up. Seconds later, a massive left connected, further destabilizing Bernath.

Sensing his moment, Itauma pounced. He unleashed a fierce combination, each punch more devastating than the last. Bernath, pressed against the ropes and overwhelmed, had no answer. Recognizing the inevitable, the referee intervened, waving off the fight and marking a resounding victory for Itauma.

However, Itauma’s ambitions don’t stop at a mere win. In a post-fight interview, he shared his aspiration to break the records set by none other than Mike Tyson. “A hundred percent,” he began, addressing the skeptics, “Obviously a lot of people saying I ain’t a real prospect, shoot me to the stars! That’s where I belong!”

The conversation then took a surprising turn. The interviewer mentioned a recent interaction between Itauma and the legendary Mike Tyson. “He said, not everyone you face is a bum. Although there are no bums in boxing. And you can learn from every fight, especially the ones you lost. But I’m not tryna lose in this game,” Itauma recounted, reflecting on Tyson’s sage advice.

Having laid down his opponent and now looking to surpass boxing’s greatest legends, Itauma concluded with gratitude: “Of course, come on man, the power’s there. Uncle Frank told me I gotta let my hands go. Obviously, that’s what I had to do. And I would like to say thank you to Uncle Frank and Frank Warren for giving me this opportunity, to box on this platform.” With such ambition, backed by unparalleled skill, the boxing world awaits Moses Itauma’s next move with bated breath.
