Prince Naseem Hamed has hailed unbeaten British heavyweight Moses Itauma as vastly superior to Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury ahead of his IBF title fight against Filip Hrgovic. Hamed’s comments underline the high expectations surrounding the 21-year-old, who could quickly become one of Britain’s leading heavyweight champions if he wins at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday.

Itauma has won all 14 professional bouts and would become the second-youngest heavyweight world champion, behind Mike Tyson, with victory. He faces 34-year-old Croatian Olympic bronze medallist Hrgovic, who has one defeat in 21 fights, while a win would give Itauma a world title in his 15th bout—one fight sooner than Joshua achieved his first title.
