🔥 HOT NEWS: Moses Itauma SHOCKS Boxing World, Calls Out Usyk After Devastating Whyte KO! 🔥
In a seismic moment for the heavyweight division, 20-year-old British sensation Moses Itauma has sent the boxing world into a frenzy by brutally knocking out veteran Dillian Whyte in just three rounds—and then boldly calling out undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk. The electrifying knockout, which took place in a packed London arena on August 17, 2025, has cemented Itauma as the most explosive prospect in boxing, while his audacious challenge to Usyk has sparked heated debates across the globe.

The bout against Whyte, a grizzled contender known for his durability against heavyweights like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, was expected to be a stern test for the young Itauma. Instead, it became a showcase of his terrifying power. From the opening bell, Itauma dominated with blistering speed and precision, landing a series of punishing jabs that rocked Whyte. By the third round, a monstrous left hook sent Whyte crashing face-first to the canvas, unconscious at the 2:03 mark. The referee immediately waved off the fight, leaving the crowd in stunned silence before erupting into cheers.
Moments after the victory, Itauma grabbed the microphone and sent shockwaves through the arena with a direct challenge to Usyk: “Oleksandr, you’re the king, but I’m coming for the crown. Let’s make it happen!” The bold callout, delivered with unwavering confidence, has set social media ablaze, particularly on X, where fans have been quick to react. “Itauma just KO’d Whyte and called out Usyk? This kid’s fearless!” one user posted. Another wrote, “Usyk vs. Itauma would be insane, but is Moses ready for that level?”

Whyte, who suffered a suspected concussion and facial injuries, was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. His team released a brief statement: “Dillian is under medical care and will take time to recover. We appreciate the support.” The loss has raised questions about the 37-year-old’s future in the sport, with some fans on X suggesting retirement, while others praised his courage for facing a rising star.
Itauma, now 11-0 with 9 knockouts, has been hailed as the future of the heavyweight division. His combination of speed, power, and charisma has drawn comparisons to a young Mike Tyson, and his callout of Usyk—who holds the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF titles—signals his ambition to fast-track his way to the top. However, skeptics argue that Itauma, despite his prodigious talent, may need more experience before facing a technical master like Usyk, who is coming off a razor-close rematch victory over Tyson Fury.
Usyk’s camp has yet to respond officially, but sources indicate the Ukrainian champion is intrigued by Itauma’s potential. Promoters are already salivating at the prospect of a future showdown, with one insider telling X, “Moses is a star in the making. If he keeps this up, Usyk might not be able to ignore him.” Meanwhile, other heavyweights, including Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker, have been mentioned as possible next opponents for Itauma as he builds his resume.
The boxing world is now buzzing with questions: Can Itauma’s raw power translate against an elite tactician like Usyk? Will Whyte recover from this crushing defeat? And how soon will we see the young lion test himself against the division’s best? For now, Moses Itauma has proven he’s a force to be reckoned with—and the heavyweight landscape may never be the same.
