British beef in Saudi
Welcome to SunSport’s official coverage of tonight’s super Saudi event which sees British stars Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte face off on a blockbuster bill.
Itauma will be aiming to take another huge step towards a world heavyweight title shot with victory over his fellow Brit.
The exciting youngster is ranked No1 by the WBO after he knocked out Mike Balogun in May to take his flawless record to 12-0.
Itauma is the big favourite to beat veteran Whyte, who is almost double his age.
The Bodysnatcher is looking to pull off a huge upset as he looks to revive his career after underwhelming wins against Christian Hammer and Ebenezer Tetteh in 2024.
A win for Whyte could potentially set up a blockbuster rematch with Anthony Joshua or a trilogy bout against Derek Chisora.
But defeat may see the 37-year-old’s time as a top heavyweight come to an end.
Don’t move a muscle as coming right up, we’ll have any breaking news, the latest stories and the ENTIRE action from tonight’s card including the big main event.
