We currently are hearing a lot of hype around the young 19 year old heavyweight, Moses Itauma. He had a decorated amateur career at schoolboy and youth level winning both european and world golds, however we have another prospect still in the amateurs named Leo Atang who I think turns 18 next month who has just won a version of the world youth championships over in Colorado. According to boxrec his record is 16-1 (not a complete record) and is now firmly in the GB set up. Interestingly enough there's an Irish kid, Adam Olaniyan who is 18 who has also just won a version of the world youth championships in Montenegro at heavyweight and a rivalry between the two is now being hyped. Anyone know much about these two?
I watched Leo at the worlds u19, he's not bad, Nothing that I'd call special. That's about as much as I can offer.
I saw his finals fight against the Korean, I thought Atang looked quick, athletic and had a decent jab but it's easy to look good against opposition which let's face it didnt look the strongest.
