Already ranked #1 by the WBO despite zero victories over credible opponents, the 20-year-old Itauma is being hyped as the next great British heavyweight.

“If I box by the game plan, I should do, yes,” Itauma told BoxNation when asked if he believes he will knock out Whyte on Saturday.

“Fairly quick. I don’t know if he matches me speed for speed.

“Whatever they have, I’ll come prepared. I can’t wait to rock and roll.”

Itauma said of his opponent: “I think it’s a completely different version of Dillian. I reckon he’s going to try to box me, because he’s lost the weight.

“Obviously, he’s not going to try to knock me out or bang me out in the first couple of rounds.

“He’s not going to want to have a tear-up with me because he can’t do that for 10 rounds. So, I think he’s going to try and outbox me.”
