Undefeated heavyweight calls out Moses Itauma

Nelson Hysa (23-0, 21 KOs) called out Moses Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs) after the Albanian's latest win at the weekend on the Wardley-Huni undercard on June 7.

The 40-year-old "Albanian Eagle" scored the 21st KO of his 23-fight career in the second round to retain his WBO European heavyweight title, pushing his KO ratio up to 91%.

Nelson Hysa told Dev Sahni after his latest win, "I say to Frank Warren, please, I see here one boxer, who is undefeated also, we are in the same family - WBO, WBA. I need to do one fight with Moses Itauma, if he is ready. I am ready, brother."

"For me, it's a pleasure to be in the ring with him. I want to ask big promoter, Frank Warren, to give me this match, I need this match, we need to show who is more good. So, I am waiting for this match.

"I am beaten? Anybody beat me? Brother, I am 23-zero, so I need now this match, so if the team of Moses is ready, I am ready, our team is ready, we will do a very beautiful fight."

Hysa only debuted in May 2022, so has squeezed in all 23 bouts within just over a year, averaging almost eight fights per year, fighting twice in the same month on more than one occasion.

Itauma is just 20-years-old, half the age of Hysa. The Slovakian-born Brit is widely regarded as the heavyweight division's top prospect and has been linked to a fight with Dillian Whyte in August.

It's unclear when and who the southpaw from Chatham will fight next, but an announcement from promoter Frank Warren is imminent.
