Britain’s Mike Tyson scores vicious KO in first fight with Anthony Joshua’s trainer on Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk undercard

Moses Itauma blasted out Ilja Mezencev in two rounds on the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk undercard.

Mezencev was the most experienced opponent Itauma had faced to date with 29 fights (25-4) to his name, including two against Fury's former foe Tom Schwarz.

Yet he was no match for the exciting 19-year-old prospect, who seemed as though he'd already won the fight when his opponent made his ring walk.

A look of fear was clear to see on Mezencev’s face as he made his way to the ring - and it was well-founded.

The German barely made it through the first round after being caught with a counter-left hook.Mezencev peddled backwards on unsteady legs as Itauma poured on the pressure with a flurry of lefts and rights.

It didn’t look like the veteran boxer wanted to come out for the second but he did and was knocked out by a clubbing right overhand for his bravery.

Itauma, who moves to 9-0 with 7 wins coming inside the distance, has plenty of hype surrounding him.

His explosive all-action style has led to him being branded 'Britain's Mike Tyson' by the national press while he was picked up by Anthony Joshua's coach Ben Davison ahead of this fight.

Itauma has extremely lofty aspirations for his career and has eyes firmly set on breaking 'Iron Mike's' record as the youngest heavyweight world champion at 20 years and 4 months.

He told The Mirror: "I want to become the youngest heavyweight world champion since Mike Tyson who was 20 years old.

"I need to take small steps but also ensure that I step up the tasks very quickly. I want to do short steps but not too much with them.

"Youngest ever world heavyweight champion is in my mid-term goals but it is something that I can believe I can achieve before 2025.

"It is not what I am thinking about right of this second, but I want to let that come once I have grown as a professional. I have gone from not having any press at all to this and it is crazy.

"I am in the right place because Frank Warren has all the other big heavyweights at the moment so I think I have a bright future."

Realistically, it is very unlikely he will be able to complete the feat with the way the heavyweight division is currently positioned.

Meanwhile, the IBF belt which is expected to be vacated two weeks after Fury and Usyk square off, is set to be placed on the line between Joshua and the winner of Daniel Dubois vs Filip Hrgovic.
