It took Moses Itauma less than two minutes to drop and stop Dillian Whyte in Riyadh on Saturday night.
Whyte was sent sprawling from a short right hook; he fell face first heavily and somehow beat the count, but his legs betrayed him for just a few seconds. He stood, unsteady and glassy eyed, and the fight was sensibly waved off. Whyte complained, Itauma celebrated, and the sport has a new star.
