Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte LIVE: UK start time, undercard results, TV and stream
Itauma has steamrollered his way through his opposition thus far - winning 10 of his 12 professional fights by stoppage, but should find tonight's assignment considerably tougher. Whyte may have been inactive of late but his experience should pose a stern test for young Itauma.
The main event is due to start at around 10.30pm UK time and will be streamed on DAZN, but there is plenty of action beforehand with Nick Ball defending his featherweight world title against Sam Goodman on the undercard. And we will bring you the round-by-round action from every fight in Riyadh...

Moses Itauma claims devastating first-round KO against Dillian Whyte
The 20-year-old extended his perfect record through 13 professional fights as he sent veteran Whyte sprawling to the canvas inside two minutes. Former WBC interim heavyweight champion Whyte, 37, was not given any time to settle as Itauma – who had been made to wait in the ring by a delayed walk-in from his British rival – immediately went on the front foot. Done in ONE 😯 Moses Itauma finishes Dillian Whyte in the FIRST ROUND 😮💨#WhyteItauma | @DAZNBoxing — Matchroom Boxing (@MatchroomBoxing) August 16, 2025 Chatham southpaw Itauma tested Whyte with a flurry of early jabs before more precision shot combinations sent him back onto the ropes. Another powerful right hook sent Whyte crashing to the floor and although he stumbled back onto his feet, the referee stepped in to wave off the contest with just over a minute left of the first round. On the back of another hugely impressive display, the calls will continue to grow for Slovakia-born Itauma to be handed a world title shot in 2026. 'That's what I've been drilling for 12, 13 weeks,' Itauma said on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra. Told you he was good. — Frank Warren (@FrankWarren) August 16, 2025 'I have trained hard for this (so) I didn't want it to be over in the first round. 'I put on a performance for you guys, so it's now who's next? 'I don't want to call out (undisputed world heavyweight champion) (Oleksandr) Usyk because I don't believe I deserve the opportunity – but guys that do deserve the opportunity, I want to fight those lot. 'So maybe Agit Kabayel, maybe Joseph Parker. Maybe them type of names. '(But) as of right now, I am going to rest and then maybe be back in the gym.'
