Super-size teenager Moses Itauma steps into the ring undefeated with a record of 10 wins and zero losses – with eight of the Brit’s 10 wins coming by way of knockout.
Australian Demsey McKean boasts a record of 22-1 (14 KOs) but hasn’t returned to the ring since his loss to Filip Hrgovic in 2023.
This will be the second challenge Itauma, 19, has faced since he claimed his belt in May 2024, after knocking out Ilja Mezencev in the second round.
While Itauma is in better form, McKean is by far the more experienced fighter setting up a strong battle on the Fury vs Usyk 2 Reignited fight card.
