Moses Itauma Addresses Mike Tyson Comparisons

British heavyweight Moses Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs), despite not managing to surpass the legendary Mike Tyson’s record as the youngest world champion in the division’s history, continues to be the subject of frequent comparisons to “Iron Mike.” The 21-year-old boxer acknowledges the inevitability of these parallels.

Itauma commented on the situation, stating: “I understand why people compare me to him; it’s an honor. But I’m forging my own path and aim to create my own legacy.”
