Moses Itauma leaves sports psychologist baffled as he reveals boxing is his ‘drug' ahead of Dillian Whyte fight

The bullet and blade-scarred Brixton Body Snatcher, who has warred with the toughest men from this era - from Derek Chisora to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua - should terrify the baby-faced novice. Advertisement But even at Thursday's press conference, Itauma went nose-to-nose with the Jamaica-born brawler, urged him to remove his sunglasses for a real look into his soul and refused to back down when Whyte warned him: "Don't act the tough guy.' The Kent starlet's Slovak-Nigerian genes have made him a formidable and focused force, the coaching at his childhood St Mary's gym in Chatham and early work with Dan Woledge made him a punching prodigy, and the adulation and millions of pounds are providing worthy inspiration. READ MORE ON ITAUMA VS WHYTE SHADY AFFAIR Whyte and Itauma in awkward exchange over SUNGLASSES in pair's final face-off But Itauma already seems to be operating on a higher plane that even doctors can't diagnose. 'It stopped being about money a long time ago,' he said ahead of the big-bucks Riyadh ruck. Advertisement 'I wouldn't do the sport for free - I'm not that much of a madman.

Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte in awkward exchange over SUNGLASSES as pair face off for final time 'And when or if I don't do it, I feel out of rhythm, I don't feel good, I feel trashed". Undisputed heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk, 38, told SunSport before his July domination of Daniel Dubois that boxing was a drug and he was the "top narco guy'. Advertisement And heir apparent Itauma, who has a similar size and identical southpaw stance, sounds perfectly placed to take over the empire. Without being reminded of Usyk's chilling analogy, he told us: 'I feel like boxing is a drug that you have to keep on taking or you suffer serious withdrawal symptoms.' Itauma is not fussy about where he gets his fix from either. Before he took over the desert, he graced undercards in Wembley, Hackney, Bethnal Green and Greenwich. But it was in his Chatham garden during the 2020 Covid lockdowns - when amateur and pro boxing was shut down - that he had some of his most brutal deals overseen by a very unlikely fixer. Advertisement He grinned: 'Me and my brother used to spar in the garden and my grandma would come out and hit us with towels to try and make us stop. 'Because we were all blooded up and busted noses. During Covid, it was at its worst. 'Me and Karol would get our neighbour to tie up our gloves, no headguards, and then we would just have tear-ups. 'We probably shouldn't have done it… but it's all character building.' Character is not something Itauma is short of, and matching it with his physical prowess has understandably made him a hit with the ladies. Advertisement It's just what I've always done, since I was a kid." Moses Itauma on why he fights And - as much as he is enjoying some of his newfound fame - he would prefer if his diehard followers stopped making him an Undateable. 'I like the fame sometimes,' he said with a Barry White-esque boom. 'Like, if I'm in a restaurant and trying to impress a certain someone and the waiter or manager recognises me. It's great to be respected and to feel that. 'But I also went to Nottingham for the Leigh Wood fight and was halfway through eating some chicken, fingers and face covered in sauce and grease and some guy tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'Let me get a picture.' 'I looked at him, then down at my chicken and then back at him and my coach spotted it and explained I was eating and would do it after my meal.

So I just have to accept the good with the bad.' Advertisement Good and bad, dreams and nightmares, time-defying Itauma is prepared for it all. 'Around Dillian's peak,' he said about the 2015-2019 period Whyte scored 11 straight wins, after a thrilling loss to Joshua. "I would have just started boxing and then won my first European title. 'The first fight I watched where I really knew both fighters was AJ and Dillian in 2015 and now, 10 years later, I am boxing him - how mad is that? 'It's crazy, some people might say I'm living a dream. 'A young kid actually came up to me at the gym the other day, he said 'Moses Itauma, I love you bro, you're living there dream''.

Gordon Elliott has €226k horse who beat Grand National winner removed from yard
Gordon Elliott has seen a horse that cost €226,000 leave his yard after suggesting that a change of scenery would do him good. American Mike has won five of his 19 races under rules, with his last victory coming at Navan in February 2024 when he beat subsequent Grand National winner Nick Rockett in a Grade 2 Novice Chase by 1¼ lengths. He was last seen finishing well down the field over hurdles at the Punchestown Festival in late April when beaten 50 lengths by winner Kaid d'Authie. The eight-year-old has moved to Olly Murphy's Warrren Chase Stables in Stratford-upon-Avon. Murphy previously spent four years as Elliott's assistant trainer. He told Racing TV's Josh Stacey: "He's been a horse who hasn't quite reached the expectations as a novice it looked like he might. I am just starting to get to know him. Jack Kennedy onboard American Mike (Image: ©INPHO/Tom Maher) "Gordon filled me in about him and it was actually Gordon who said the change of scenery would do him good. I'm very lucky to have a horse like him and hopefully he can be competitive in some handicap chases. "We're working as a team. Owners Noel and Valerie Moran who sponsor Gordon's yard are also good supporters of me. Hopefully just a change of scenery will spark a small bit of a revival. "Albeit he has some good form from last season so it's not like he's completely gone off the face of the earth. We're not just trying to find something that was there three years ago, he has got recent form as well."

Wales wing Rees-Zammit returns to rugby with Bristol after NFL dream ends
BRISTOL HAVE signed Louis Rees-Zammit following his return to rugby union after the Wales wing gave up on his 18-month-long bid to break into the NFL. English Premiership side Bristol said Thursday that Rees-Zammit was joining with 'immediate effect' ahead of the new league season. No further details about his contract were disclosed. The 24-year-old dramatically left rugby union in January 2024 to pursue a career in American football and was on the training squads of the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars, but did not play in a regular-season game. Earlier this month, Rees-Zammit, who made his name in rugby union with Gloucester, a fierce local rival of Bristol, said he was returning to the 15-a-side code. He spent last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, having been cut by the Chiefs the previous campaign, but failed to make an NFL appearance for either franchise as a wide receiver after originally switching sports by joining the NFL's International Player Pathway Program in 2024. By then, he had already scored 14 tries in 32 Tests for Wales and been selected for the 2021 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa. Advertisement Bristol, who reached the Premiership semi-finals last season before losing to eventual champions Bath, are one of the most attacking teams in English rugby's top flight. Their 95 tries was the joint-highest in the division during the 2024/25 campaign, and Rees-Zammit said their approach made them an 'obvious choice'. - 'One of the best' - 'The style of rugby the team play — all about entertaining the fans and growing the game — perfectly aligns with how I want to play and how I express myself on and off the field,' Rees-Zammit said in a Bristol statement. 'I want to get fans out of their seats, create exciting moments and help people fall in love with the game. I'm excited to return to rugby at a club that demands those values.' Bristol's opening match of the new Premiership season is against Leicester on 28 September. Rees-Zammit made his Gloucester debut soon after turning 18 and went on to score 42 tries in 77 matches for the Cherry and Whites during a six-year stint at Kingsholm. His first Wales cap came in 2020, aged 19, with his speed and finishing ability making him a rising star of the sport. Bears boss Pat Lam has no doubt Rees-Zammit, who will join the squad on Saturday, is an ideal fit, saying: 'He has the drive and ambition to be one of the best back-three players in the world, and his goals align perfectly with our ambitions as a club. 'At just 24 years old, we know the athlete and competitor he is. The way we play and the way he wants to play fit seamlessly together, and we're looking forward to working with him.' Wales' new coach, Steve Tandy, has already said Rees-Zammit could be in contention for a Test recall as soon as the November internationals. – © AFP 2025
