WBA PULEV commands to defend the title of a 20-year-old Itauma

Queensberry promoter Frank Warren says WBA’s ‘regular’ heavyweight champion, Kubrat Pulev, must defend against Number 1 Moses Itauma next. The WBA has ordered the battle. Warren says that if Pulev (32-3, 14 ko) chooses to fight against Murat Gasiev next on December 12, 2025, he will have a problem because the fighting has not been approved.

The recovery route continues

In age, the Pulev, 44, fits better with the category of older fighters that Moses Itauma has been feasting on since he turned professional in 2023. Itauma, 20, has been raiding the recovery home-based patient, raising his prey.

With the hype behind a slow -speaking Itauma, why is it paired entirely against older fighters? If he is the world -class hope he is built to be, why is he paired against 40 -year -olds? It makes Itauma look suspicious, like smoke and mirrors only, manufactured to look like gold, given how it is paired.

Recent Opponents Itauma:

• Mariusz Wach: 44
• Mike Balogun: 41
• Dan Garber: 40
• Dillian WHYTE: 37

“Pulev has to fight against Moses (Itauma). That’s commanded. That’s for the usual title (WBA). (Itauma) in a good position, And we’re in the process of hoping for that or we’re going to purse offers, ”Champion Frank Warren told Boxing Talksport For his plans on the lining of Moses Itauma for a title shot against Next WBA Kubrat Pulev’s regular heavyweight champion.

Warren sounds like he is convinced that Itauma who defiles the regular heavyweight champion of Wba Pulev is the gold ticket for him to locate Moses for a fight against Oleksandr Usyk. That may not work because it is too easy, and ITAUMA does not need risk. Pulev recently lost to passenger Derek Chisora ​​by split decision 12 rounds on July 9, 2022. He looked painfully slow, losing to Chisora.

Questioning Itauma’s Easy Trail

“They have been announced, but it has not been sanctified by the WBA,” said Warren about Pulev defending against Murat GasseeIsh on December 12, 2025.

Wardley’s Blueprint was ignored

If Warren wanted to strengthen the Itauma site to get a fight against Oleksandr Usyk, he should have been given to follow the same path as Fabio Wardley by fighting top -level fighters, such as Joseph Parker and Frank Sanchez.

“We don’t know where we’re with that. We have to sort things out with Pulev. See where we’re first,” said Warren when asked if Itauma is still fighting on December 13th.

Dazn needs a fresh headline

It would be great for the Derek Chisora ​​vs Dillian WHyte event on December 13th if Moses Itauma were included on the card as the headline against Kubrat Pulev, aged 44, or, preferably a more talented younger fighter, such as Frank Sanchez.

Considering the December 13th event will be broadcast on Dazn PPV, a viable liver fighter with talent must be the main spot, not the curious men Chisora ​​and WHyte. Pulev is not someone whose boxing public in the UK or US fans are interested in paying to see Itauma fight.
