Overview

  • Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte are scheduled to clash tonight at the ANB Arena in Riyadh with ring walks set for 10.20pm BST and live coverage available on DAZN pay-per-view for £19.99.
  • The unbeaten 20-year-old Itauma enters as the heavy betting favourite at –900, while 37-year-old Whyte is rated a +550 underdog in global markets.
  • The undercard is stacked with title fights across divisions, highlighted by Nick Ball vs. Sam Goodman for the WBA featherweight belt and bouts featuring Filip Hrgovic, Raymond Ford and Hayato Tsutsumi.
  • No rematch clause has been publicly confirmed in the fight contract and event security personnel will wear “BAD” shirts as a tribute to the late Brent Aaron Davies.
  • A victory for Itauma would reinforce his status as the WBO’s top contender and could pave the way for a showdown with Joseph Parker or the eventual Usyk-Parker title winner.
