PROMISING heavyweight Moses Itauma is set for a huge payday as he prepares for the biggest fight of his career.
Moses Itauma made his boxing debut in January, 2023 when he fought and beat Marcel Bode at Wembley.
Since then, the 20-year-old star has appeared in 11 more professional fights and won all of them.
The young boxer will earn his biggest paycheck yet this Saturday as he fights in a blockbuster affair against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte.
What is Moses Itauma’s net worth?
Itauma has been in some big fights in his short career, most notably beating Mike Balogun via a second round knockout in May.
He is the current holder of the WBO intercontinental heavyweight title.
The Brit defeated Ilja Mezencev on May 18, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to win the title and has since defended it twice.
According to Bet365, Itauma has a reported net worth of £450k – but this figure is solely based on his estimated boxing purses.
This reported net worth will sky rocket after his fight with Whyte as he is set to earn almost double his career earnings in one fight.
Itauma will hope a victory will lead to a mammoth fight against undisputed champ Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO belt.
Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte – all the info

One of the biggest fights of the year has arrived
The highly-touted Moses Itauma faces the biggest test of his fledgling career as he steps into the ring with Dillian Whyte on Saturday night.
Itauma, 20, has great expectations on his shoulders – he has been compared to Mike Tyson and is expected by many to dominate boxing’s heavyweight division over the next decade.
But the Slovakian-born star – who sits at 12-0 (10KOs) is yet to face a test anywhere close to what Whyte can offer.
The Body Snatcher is now 37 and has not looked great in his last couple of fights, but the former world title challenger knows an upset win would catapult him right back to the top table.
