Chatham’s Moses Itauma is playing his part in preparing Tyson Fury to take on Oleksandr Usyk in next month’s highly-anticipated world heavyweight unification bout.

Itauma, who turned 19 in late December, will be on the undercard in Riyadh for the February 17 ‘Ring of Fire’ show and has been an important sparring partner for Fury.

Fury, who holds the WBC belt and is vying to claim Usyk’s WBA, IBF and WBO titles, called on Kent teenager Itauma for some ring work in Morecambe prior to them both heading out to Saudi Arabia for training.

Rising star Itauma has made a stunning start to his own professional career, winning all seven of his bouts during a hectic first year, including some eye-catching knock-outs.
