Two new opponents have been named for Moses Itauma to possibly face in December.
Itauma was last out in August where he stopped Dillian Whyte in the first round.
Since turning professional in 2023, the 20-year-old has been practically flawless with 13 wins and 11 of those coming by way of knockout.
The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has revealed that Michael Hunter and David Adeleye are now being considered for his return on December 13.
Hunter was last in action in December where he brutally finished Christian Larrondo Garcia in the 5th round of their contest.
The 37-year-old has been linked with multiple big fights recently including Kubrat Pulev and Jarrel Miller.
Hunter’s most notable win came in 2018 when he stopped heavyweight danger man, Martin Bakole.
Adeleye, another opponent mentioned offers a very different test for Itauma.
The Brit picked up the British heavyweight title after defeating Jeamie TKV, stopping him after six rounds.
He most recently featured on Itauma’s undercard where he took on the tough Fillip Hrgovic, losing over 10 rounds after hurting the Croatian in the eighth.
Itauma seems to be struggling to find an opponent with Adam Smith telling Pro Boxing Fans that Itauma’s team couldn’t get Hrgovic to sign a deal suitable for the fight.
It was also reported this week that Itauma has turned down an IBF world title eliminator against Frank Sanchez that would have given him a world title challenge against Oleksandr Usyk.
Itauma has repeatedly flirted with the fight against undisputed world champion Usyk and his coach, Ben Davison recently spoke to Sky Sports where he revealed his fighter would love to share the ring with the Ukrainian.
“His ability to process information, ‘when I do this you’re doing that, it hasn’t even got to be a mistake but I’m picking up on that’s your reaction to that,” Davison said.
“When you do this, I’m going to make you pay.’
“There aren’t many heavyweights who think like that.
“I would know that Moses is up for it. I just think it’s a win-win.
“As much as Moses hasn’t boxed anybody like Usyk, Usyk hasn’t fought anybody like Moses, because there hasn’t been anybody like him.”
