Rising heavyweight star Moses Itauma wants to break legend Mike Tyson's record

Moses Itauma believes he can beat Mike Tyson's record by becoming youngest-ever world heavyweight champion.

The rising star has had a hugely successful amateur career which saw him picked up by Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions who have signed him to a long-term deal. At just 18, Itauma will make his debut on a world title bill topped by Anthony Yarde's clash with Artur Beterbiev on January 28 at Wembley Arena.

And while Itauma is expected to be moved step-by-step by manager Francis Warren to ensure he fulfils his obvious potential and becomes one of the division's biggest stars, he is also wary of going for gold too quickly.
