Heavyweight Showdown: Whyte and Itauma Clash in Riyadh Face-Off

Dillian Whyte and Moses Itauma exchanged heated words during a tense face-off in Riyadh ahead of their heavyweight showdown. The 37-year-old veteran demanded Itauma, 20, to ’drop the tough guy act’ after the undefeated prodigy taunted him to remove his sunglasses. Whyte, known as the ’Body Snatcher,’ fired back with a warning, urging his opponent to save the aggression for fight night.

The rivalry intensified when an announcer mistakenly called Whyte the ’Baby Snatcher,’ prompting a playful yet pointed confrontation. Whyte, a two-time former WBC interim champion, enters the bout as the underdog against Itauma, who boasts a flawless 12-0 record. The clash represents a pivotal moment for both fighters, with Whyte aiming to prove his experience and Itauma seeking to solidify his rising star status.

The press conference highlighted the stark contrast between the seasoned Whyte and the brash Itauma, with the younger boxer mocking his opponent’s age and demeanor. Despite the tension, Whyte remained composed, focusing on the fight ahead. The Riyadh crowd eagerly anticipates Saturday’s showdown, which promises to be a defining moment in both careers.
