Live Coverage: Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte; Overview of Date, UK Start Time, Undercard, and Streaming Details for the Fight in Saudi Arabia
In the world of heavyweight boxing, the undisputed champion is Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian boxer has solidified his position as the best heavyweight of his generation, holding all four major belts: WBC, WBA, IBF, and WBO. Usyk reclaimed the undisputed heavyweight champion status by knocking out Daniel Dubois in July 2025.
While Usyk continues to reign, the spotlight shifts to Dillian Whyte and his upcoming contest against Moses Itauma. Whyte, who has a win over Joseph Parker but has lost to Tyson Fury, Alexander Povetkin, and Anthony Joshua, opted to face Itauma instead of a rematch against Joshua and Parker.
Moses Itauma, a 20-year-old Brit with an undefeated record of 12-0, is gearing up for the toughest test of his career so far. Veteran boxer Dillian Whyte has expressed that he is in the business to fight, entertain, and give fans a good fight.
The Itauma vs Whyte heavyweight contest is subject to change, and the venue has yet to be confirmed. The event will start at 5pm UK time on August 16.

As for the IBF heavyweight title, Usyk won it from Daniel Dubois in July 2025. Dubois, who was the IBF champion before the loss, was a prominent top contender and titleholder. Usyk's record reflects multiple successful title reigns and victories over top heavyweights.
