Moses Itauma’s Cult-Like Following in the UK: Why Fans Don’t Expect More of Him

Moses Itauma’s Cult-Like Following in the UK: Why Fans Don’t Expect More of Him

British heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma says fans criticize his opponents to “make me look worse than I am.” Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) wants fans to glorify him and view him as the golden fighter based on wins over flimsy opponents without calling him on it.

Why Itauma’s Career Is Manufactured

This Saturday, August 16th, Itauma is facing the faded 37-year-old veteran Dillian Whyte on DAZN PPV in Riyadh. Moses is an easy target for criticism from the highly intelligent fans who have higher standards for PPV entertainment and the fake hype surrounding Itauma’s manufactured career. They have taken notice of the low quality of Itauma’s opponents thus far, and view him as counterfeit.

“People don’t like the movement that I do. So, they put a bit of doubt and a bit of pressure on it. And if they can’t do it on me, they do it to my opponents. They kind of like bring my opponents down to make me look worse than I am. My job is not to let them get into my head,” said Moses Itauma to Boxing King Media about his movement being criticized as well as the lackluster opposition he’s faced as a professional.

Itauma’s Glass Chin Concerns

Fans have noticed that Itauma uses the same kind of movement that fighters with glass chins employ. You can see a lot of Devin Haney in Moses Itauma with the constant retreating that he does when his opponents show any sign of wanting to hit him. A fighter doesn’t do that unless they’re harboring glass in their chins. If Itauma has faith in his ability to take a punch, he wouldn’t run around the ring. He does this in every fight, and it’s obvious that he lacks faith in his ability to take a hard hit.

People criticize Itauma’s poor opposition because they are so utterly awful that one can’t help but mention them. For a fighter that is being hyped as much as Moses Itauma is being hyped by fans and the media in the UK, it’s alarming how poorly he’s been matched by his promoters at Queensberry.

Itauma’s Cult Following in UK

Itauma has quickly developed a cult-like following in England, and they don’t have higher standards for him. They’re seemingly fine with Itauma knocking over substandard opposition without expecting more of him. It’s enlightening to see how easy it is to pull the wool over the eyes of the public.

“I get so annoyed at these questions because your boxing ability shouldn’t be judged on whether you can take a punch,” said Itauma. “Moses Itauma knocks out old veteran in devastating fashion,” said Moses when asked what the headline will be on Sunday after he fights Whyte on Saturday night.

“Spoiled Rotten” from Soft Matchmaking

As you can tell from these comments by Itauma, he lacks patience, is easily annoyed, and seems to be spoiled rotten from the soft matchmaking that’s been done on his behalf by his promoters. Itauma appears to struggle to control his anger at being asked simple questions that can be easily answered if he were willing to be open and direct. Instead, Moses repeatedly deflects, choosing to parrot the same line in every interview: “The aim of boxing is to hit and not get hit.”

He refuses to admit what everyone can see. He’s been matched exclusively against Ham and Eggers since he turned pro in 2023.
