Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are set to clash on Saturday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but you would've thought we were preparing to watch John Fury vs Mike Tyson judging from the former's press conference antics.
They say don't meet your idols, but Moses Itauma did just that as he came face-to-face with Mike Tyson.Teenage Itauma is one of the most exciting prospects in the heavyweight division and he has already won all five of his fights so far having turned pro earlier this year.
He has made it very clear that his aspirations are to break the record for the youngest heavyweight champion ever. That record is currently held by Tyson, who won his first title at 20 years, 4 months, and 22 days old when he knocked out Trevor Berbick inside two rounds.Battling poverty, prison and corruption, Francis Ngannou's biggest payday is just reward
Itauma began their interaction by explaining how many fights he has had so far: "Under my belt, five now, but I only turned pro in January.""Right now I'm thinking eight fights this year, eight fights next year, then we'll see what we can come up with." Itauma replied. This may sound like a lot nowadays, but to put it in context, in 1985, early in 'Iron Mike's' career, he had 15 fights in one year.
