Boxing: Moses Itauma not ready for Oleksandr Usyk or Fabio Wardley yet, says Steve Bunce

Watch: Moses Itauma's top five knockouts Moses Itauma has been lauded as the future of the division, which he might very well be. But right now, and where he is at in his career, he is not ready to take on the world's best heavyweights. And any talk of him fighting Oleksandr Usyk or Fabio Wardley for a world title is just a ridiculous conversation. I've seen so many instances where young prospects, especially heavyweights, have been called the "second coming of X" - you can fill in the gap - and then they fall short. Because if you actually look at it in the cold light of day, what is there in Itauma's 13 wins that could lead anybody to think that as of today, he could fight any of the top guys? In the future, he might knock them all out. The good thing is the kid doesn't buy into all of it. He just gets on with business. He doesn't buy into the hype and he knows how good he is. Itauma's record is perfectly acceptable for a guy who's had 13 fights and is only 21 years of age. On Saturday, he has a real test against Jermaine Franklin – a perfect piece of matchmaking. And as I say, in 18 months to two-and-a-half years, he might have taken care of everybody in the division. Radio comm
