The unbeaten British heavyweight is already committed to face Filip Hrgovic on August 29 at London’s O2 Arena in what is expected to be the toughest test of his career. The IBF’s latest move means victory over Hrgovic could send the 21-year-old directly into a world title fight instead of another developmental bout. Sanchez, however, represents anything but an easy assignment. The 33-year-old Cuba-born contender (26-1, 19 KOs) is coming off one of the finest wins of his career after stopping previously unbeaten 2020 Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez Jr. in two rounds on May 23 at the Pyramids of…

Moses Itauma has officially been given the opportunity to fight a world heavyweight title. Itauma has been tipped for many years to be the heir to the heavyweight throne, and at one stage had ambitions to break Mike Tyson’s record as the youngest world heavyweight champion in history. While that never materialised, wins over the likes of Dillian Whyte and Jermaine Franklin means the 21-year-old was on the cusp of a crack at world honours, but after Oleksandr Usyk vacated his world title belts, the opportunity has come sooner than expected. That’s because the IBF have now officially ordered Itauma…

If that fight goes ahead as planned and Itauma is victorious, Queensberry Promotions would have a major decision to make. Rather than continuing to build the young heavyweight gradually, the British promotional company could send him straight into a world title fight against Sanchez. The matchup would pit two very different styles against one another. Sanchez has built his reputation as one of the division’s most technically polished heavyweights, using his jab, movement and experience to outbox opponents. Itauma, meanwhile, has quickly emerged as one of boxing’s hottest prospects, compiling a 14-0 record with 12 knockouts through an aggressive, explosive…
