What time and TV channel is Moses Itauma v Dillian Whyte on tonight?
Moses Itauma is set for a stern test tonight as he squares off against seasoned fighter Dillian Whyte in a true measure of his heavyweight prowess. Itauma boasts an impressive record, having triumphed in all 12 of his professional bouts to date - and has managed to knock out 10 of his opponents within the distance. He's widely touted as the division's rising star at a time when Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua are nearing the twilight of their careers. However, he first needs to overcome Whyte in Riyadh tonight, with his compatriot entering the last chance saloon. Whyte has only stepped into the ring twice in the past three years and will commence tonight's fight as the clear underdog - but still poses a significant threat. Here's everything you need to know about tonight's heavyweight clash.... What time will Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte start tonight? Dilian Whyte and Moses Itauma are expected to make their way to the ring at approximately 10.30pm Irish time tonight, with the fight commencing shortly after. The evening's first bouts will kick off from 6pm, reports the Mirror. Please note that all fight timings are subject to change and will depend on the duration of the undercard. Full fight card, undercard, running order and start times Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte - 10.30pm Nick Ball vs Sam Goodman - 9.30pm Filip Hrgovic vs David Adeleye - 8.30pm Raymond Ford vs Abraham Nova - 7.30pm Hayato Tsutsumi vs Qais Ashfaq -6.30pm Mohammed Alakel vs Yumnam Santosh Singh - 6pm. Quotes corner Moses Itauma: "The reason why they get so nervous and so anxious in their fights is because they are too focused on the outcome. I am not fussed about the outcome, I am fussed about me boxing to my gameplay. When I box to the gameplay, I know that I can beat Dillian Whyte. In turn, it is just going to be 'cool, job is done. You have completed the equation.' Whereas, if I do not do it, it is like 'I have failed.' I would not say I would be happy if I beat Dillian Whyte, but I know I would be disappointed if I do not." Dillian Whyte: "Today Moses is the next Mike Tyson. He is great, amazing and they talk about him fighting (Oleksandr) Usyk. I go in there, he does his thing, I catch him and blow him up. Then what? People say he's not good any more? My mindset is no-one wants to fight Moses, he is a great fighter, young, sharp and full of beans. You have to believe in yourself and take risks. That is what my life is all about. Showing people, my family and my kids, and people in general, you have to take risks to get to places. I ain't got nothing to lose. What have I got to lose? I'm a nobody. I'm being compared to a journeyman in the 90s and 80s, he is being compared to Mike Tyson."
