    I think Whyte will probably be taken out early like McKean was. he's older, inactive and has been stopped brutally several times already. It's a good fight for Itauma at this stage of his career, but I don't see it last very long or being competitive.

    Whyte is about to get Retired! Itauma is going to wreck him.

    I like this fight!

    It's the logical next step for Itauma - MUCH more meaningful fight for Itauma than the geriatric Hysa.

    Even shot to pieces it's a big step up...

    I'd assume it wouldn't be happening if they weren't confident but we'll see!

    This is a gimme for Itauma.
    Whyte is beyond finished.

    If those questions involve a landed left hook, it'll tell us an awful lot about how far Itauma might be able to go... One way or the other.

    Interesting matchup.

    Not sure Itauma should be fighting dangerous journeymen at this stage of his career.

    Derailing Itauma would redeem Whyte and cement him as a hall of famer.

    Agreed, although that left hook isn't as pulverising as it used to be , it would still be the most meaningful punch Itauma has ever taken

    How? Itauma is still just a kid.

    To me, he looks like a big kid beating up adults...

    Whyte KOes Itauma unless he's paid to take a dive.

    Whyte may well be well past his best it's more of a damning statement on Itauma's resume to date that he'd still be his best opponent to date....by far.

    Whyte couldn't KO Tetteh after landing 300 punches
