Warren retains faith in 'unbelievable' Itauma

Moses Itauma, 21, suffered a ninth-round stoppage loss to Filip Hrgovic at The O2 in a fight for the vacant IBF world heavyweight title. Itauma, who had never previously boxed beyond six rounds in his 15-fight career, was carried from the ring on a stretcher after being worn down by the more experienced Hrgovic. Promoter Frank Warren retained faith in Itauma but said it was too early to confirm his next steps, acknowledging the young fighter would need a tactical rethink to reach the top level.
