Moses Itauma, one of the most promising British boxers, expressed openness to a future fight with Johnny Fisher. During the press conference ahead of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch, Itauma and Fisher shared their thoughts on the possibility of facing each other in the future. Both fighters are undefeated, and their potential matchup could be a major draw for British boxing fans.
Moses Itauma, with a 10-0 record, showed respect for Fisher. Itauma mentioned that they had shared training sessions in the past and maintained friendly conversations outside the ring. “I don’t hate the man,” Itauma said. “Listen, I feel like the fight will be there on the table if we want it,” he added, suggesting that a bout between them could be a real possibility in the near future.
The friendship and mutual respect between Fisher and Itauma were evident when they recalled a time they agreed to go out for Chinese food together, something they have yet to do. Itauma joked, “One day we’ll have it. Maybe a Chinese after.”
Likewise, Johnny Fisher also expressed his willingness to fight Itauma. Fisher, with an impressive record of 12 wins and 11 knockouts and 0 loses, warned any future opponent about the challenge of defeating him. “I think I’m not a Man City, I’m an AC Milan, and not a Liverpool, but I am a cold night away in Stoke,” Fisher said, referencing the toughness needed to beat him in the ring.
Fisher, whose father Big John has gained popularity on TikTok, will face Australian Demsey McKean on the December 21st card. This fight will be part of the highly anticipated event in Saudi Arabia, where Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk will contest their rematch. McKean, a former sparring partner of Anthony Joshua, holds a record of 22 wins with just one loss.
Although Fisher is focused on his upcoming bout, he does not rule out a future showdown with Itauma. “I will fight anyone. Anyone out there, I will fight,” Fisher said during the press conference. “And to beat me, you’ve got to pull your socks up and put it on to beat me,” he added defiantly. Despite his confidence, Fisher also praised Itauma, describing him as a “great talent” and acknowledging the significance that fight would have for the British public.
Both boxers made it clear that while they maintain a cordial relationship, they wouldn’t hesitate to face each other if the opportunity arises. A fight between Johnny Fisher and Moses Itauma would not only grab the attention of British boxing fans but could also establish one of them as a future star on the international boxing scene.
The December 21st event, taking place in Saudi Arabia, promises not only an epic rematch between Fury and Usyk but also high-caliber bouts on the rest of the card. The possibility of a future clash between Johnny Fisher and Moses Itauma adds even more excitement to the coming months in the boxing world.
