Itauma vs Whyte: Dave Allen Predicts Early Night

Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) will look to continue his rapid ascent in the heavyweight division when he faces Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) in the main event on August 16. Nick Ball will appear on the undercard, defending his WBA featherweight title against Sam Goodman, who will move up from super bantamweight for this world title shot. Anthony Cacace and Raymond Ford will meet in an intriguing super featherweight showdown, while Hayato Tsutsumi and Qais Ashfaq will meet in a super featherweight bout.

When talking about the main event, Allen gave his honest prediction of how he sees the fight going: “My early prediction would be an Itauma stoppage, in a couple of rounds as well. It’s all about the timing. Even the best Dillian Whyte would be a hard ask [for him] because Itauma is a real scary talent,” said Allen.

 “They’re getting Whyte at the right time, he’s 37, not been in the ring for a long time. So I think Itauma will stop him pretty early.”
