Itauma faces more delays ahead of next heavyweight bout
British-Nigerian heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma has experienced another postponement for his upcoming fight. His return to the ring has now been pushed back for the second time, with promoter Frank Warren eyeing late August as the likely period for the bout. The fight was initially set for July 25, then moved to August 8, but both dates have proven unworkable. Itauma is expected to face Croatian contender Filip Hrgovic in what could be his toughest challenge yet.
