3 Dillian Whyte is in need of a statement win to revive his career
For Itauma , a win against the British veteran would be huge and could launch him into a fight against undisputed champ Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO belt.
The promising 20-year-old star already boasts an incredible unbeaten record of 12-0 and is ranked No1 by the WBO.
"The Wrecking Ball" convincingly beat ex-NFL star Mike Balogun in May and is the big favourite for his fight against Whyte.
One of the biggest fights of the year has arrived!
The highly-touted Moses Itauma faces the biggest test of his fledgling career as he steps into the ring with Dillian Whyte on Saturday night.
Itauma, 20, has great expectations on his shoulders - he has been compared to Mike Tyson and is expected by many to dominate boxing's heavyweight division over the next decade.
But the Slovakian-born star - who sits at 12-0 (10KOs) is yet to face a test anywhere close to what Whyte can offer.
The Body Snatcher is now 37 and has not looked great in his last couple of fights, but the former world title challenger knows an upset win would catapult him right back to the top table.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the fight...
