Tony Bellew Doubts Moses Itauma’s Love for Boxing

Former champion Tony Bellew questioned whether heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma genuinely loves boxing, suggesting on Fight Your Corner that Itauma's natural ability might surpass his passion. Bellew argued that the 21-year-old fighter is not a student of the sport and highlighted technical concerns following Itauma's defeat against Filip Hrgovic.

Bellew defended trainer Ben Davison, noting that the corner instructed Itauma to pace himself rather than continuously hunt for a knockout. Boxing News 24 analyzed that Itauma burned excessive energy with inefficient footwork and struggled defensively when tagged by Hrgovic, emphasizing that the young fighter must improve his craft against rugged veterans.
