Australian heavyweight contender Justis Huni is eager to face Moses Itauma, anticipating their eventual meeting in the ring. Itauma is set to fight on July 25 at the O2 Arena in London, but his opponent has yet to be confirmed. Huni, fresh from a points victory over Frazer Clarke, believes their encounter is '100 per cent' inevitable.
He questions whether he can match Itauma's exceptional hand speed, saying 'time will tell.' Huni has bounced back from a late stoppage loss to Fabio Wardley, who went on to become the WBO heavyweight world champion. Huni reflects on the experience, saying it was a valuable learning opportunity despite the loss.
He feels his stock has risen, given Wardley's subsequent success, and is confident in his abilities. A potential British title fight against Richard Riakporhe could be a thrilling headliner at the O2 Arena. Riakporhe remains open to facing Itauma in the future, acknowledging that their paths may cross at some point.
He recognizes Itauma's strong position and the hype surrounding him, suggesting that their teams are strategically guiding him towards a world title shot.
