Moses Itauma looks to take another step closer to a world heavyweight title shot when he squares off with Dillian Whyte today (Saturday) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, live on DAZN pay-per-view. It will mark the second fight of 2025 for the heavily hyped Itauma, while Whyte will step into the ring for the first time since he defeated Ebenezer Tetteh in December last year.This heavyweight contest headlines a card in which includes a world title fight, as WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball takes on Sam Goodman with the former hoping to secure a dream bout with Naoya Inoue In another featured bout, British heavyweight David Adeleye looks to make a statement against veteran contender Filip Hrgovic.
In the chief support, Ball, the WBA featherweight champion faces Sam Goodman, who steps up a division following his two aborted bouts with Naoya Inoue either side of the new year. Both men have made no secret of their desire to eventually face Inoue, the world super bantamweight champion who is considering a move up to featherweight. This clash could prove to be a shoot-out for a chance against the Japanese kingpin.
Further down the bill, Adeleye makes the step up from the domestic level, having relinquished the British title to begin his challenge at world level. In Hrgovic, he faces a particularly tricky customer, a man with his own designs on a full world title shot looming in the distance. Victory for either man will throw them further into the heart of the congested heavyweight division, as the future of all four belts swirls alongside Oleksandr Usyk's next call.
