Australian heavyweight contender Justis Huni is eager to face Moses Itauma, who is set to fight on July 25 at the O2 Arena in London, with his opponent yet to be confirmed. Following his recent points victory over Frazer Clarke, Huni expressed his confidence in a future encounter with Itauma, stating, '100 per cent, I feel like we're going to meet somewhere along the line at some point.' Itauma recently showcased his skills with a ruthless win over Jermaine Franklin, demonstrating his exceptional hand speed for a heavyweight. Huni, however, questioned whether he could rival Itauma's speed, suggesting that only time will tell.
Having rebuilt from his late stoppage loss to Fabio Wardley, Huni reflected on the experience, saying, 'It was a good challenge for myself... Even though I got stopped late in the fight, it was still a win-win for myself.' Huni believes his stock has risen despite the loss, citing Fabio Wardley's subsequent success as a world champion. A potential British title fight between Richard Riakporhe and Itauma could be a thrilling O2 headliner.
When asked about a possible future fight against Itauma, Riakporhe stated, 'Anything is possible, we just have to wait and see what opportunities become available.' Riakporhe acknowledged Itauma's current position, saying, 'He's ranked really high, so I don't know if they're trying to push him for a world title shot... He's got a lot of hype behind him, and people have high hopes for him.'
