The WBO ranked the youngster as No1 after knocking out Mike Balogun in May.
He faces off against veteran Dillian 'The Body Snatcher' Whyte, now 37 and holding a 31‑3 record (21 KOs).
Itauma has bulldozed recent opponents - racking up eight consecutive knockouts - including Balogun and Demsey McKean in brutal stoppages, while Whyte comes off unconvincing wins over Christian Hammer and Ebenezer Tetteh.
The former world title contender also pulled out of an arranged bout with Joe Joyce earlier this year.
A win for Whyte is vital if he wants to get back to the top level of heavyweight boxing.
What time does Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte start?
Ring-walks for the main event is expected to get underway at approximately 10.20pm BST, meaning that the first bell should go around ten minutes later.
However, timings could change depending on the length of the undercard bouts.
Coverage of the main card will start from 5.45pm BST

New Match of the Day hosts set out plans for new era after Gary Lineker exit
We're a third of the way into BBC Sport's Match of the Day panel before any of the new hosts even mention Gary Lineker, and it's merely a fleeting reference. This season sees Gabby Logan, Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman taking over presenting duties following Lineker's highly publicised departure. Speaking at the Beeb's season launch event in London, they're all set to look ahead while honouring what has made the show a hit. "It's a team effort," asserts Chapman. "All three of us have agreed it's not going to be about us - which might not be what the bosses want to hear. (Image: PA) "We've all worked in sport and it's about the pundits first and foremost, getting the best out of the pundits, and that's the most important thing for us. But this, for me, is a show that is thriving. It's a show that we hope to continue doing what's been done so far." All three hosts are coming at the project with different experiences, with Chapman a regular in the format after regularly hosting Match of the Day 2 in recent seasons (the Sunday show will drop the '2' this term, bringing it on level footing with the Saturday programme and midweek Champions League coverage). Cates' experience is more in the live football realm through her Sky Sports work, while Logan - who anchored The BBC's coverage of the Euro 2025 final as well as stepping in on MOTD in the past - is somewhere in the middle. There's a sense that an ability to continue doing other work in sport was key for all three, ensuring none are known just for their work on the highlights show. And that breadth of experience - speaking to footballers in different contexts and speaking to athletes from other sports - will only strengthen the quality of their interactions with the rotating team of pundits on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday nights while allowing them to focus on bringing something unique to viewers. "It's also about making sure we're talking about what people are interested in," Cates says. "And I think that's down to us to not get caught up in being too telly and not get caught up in being too driven by that, but actually to be listening to what fans are saying. It's never been easier to find out than it is now." All three of the new presenters have plenty of experience presenting high-profile sport,from live Premier League matches to the Olympic Games, but there's still something different about Match of the Day. "It's great fun, it's a great privilege, and you're working with great people and you want to be able to relax as the audience hopefully feels at home, so they can sit back and enjoy it," Logan says. "So when that music plays there's always a frisson of excitement, a few little butterflies, and I think you need that for a performance. And that's hopefully going to result in some fantastic shows this season and people will enjoy them." This might be why, even in a period where most of us will know the results long before 10.30 in the evening - and some of us will have already seen the goals - we will still tune in. As Logan herself puts it, the show provides a "full stop" on the day's action, and it's still where so many people will come for the final word. The challenge now is ensuring they want to hear that word from a new team of presenters after the familiarity Lineker built up over a quarter of a century. Match of the Day returns this evening on this opening weekend of the Premier League season, with Chapman in the hotseat on Saturday and Logan on Sunday. The BBC will have highlights available online earlier than ever before this season, with fans able to watch goals online before Match of the Day airs. And this allows whoever is in the chair on any given Saturday to remember what their focus needs to be. "Since the match of the day started, it's been about the highlights, it's about seeing what's happened," Cates acknowledges. "Really we're just there to help."

Filip Hrgovic survives horror cut to outclass brave Brit David Adeleye on Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte undercard

CUT IT OUT Filip Hrgovic survives horror cut to outclass brave Brit David Adeleye on Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte undercard DAVID ADELEYE courageously climbed off the deck against heavyweight boogieman Filip Hrgovic but was beaten on points. The fearless Ladbroke Road lad took on the 2016 Olympic bronze winner in Saudi and had to drag himself off the sand in round eight. 3 Filip Hrgovic dropped David Adeleye on the way to a points win Credit: Getty 3 Hrgovic was badky cut from his right eye Credit: Getty Advertisement He threw the kitchen sink at the respected veteran but the three ringside judges scored the bout 98-91, 99-90 and 99-90. The West Londoner made the brave decision to start fast, pinging orthodox jabs up at the 6ft 6in Croatian's handsome and hard dome. Hrgovic pushed him back with body attacks but when he popped out a limp jab, Adeleye landed the shot of the round, an overhand right, that should have banked the opener for him with the judges. The only defeat on Hrgovic's 18-1 career came last year when he battered Daniel Dubois for a few rounds before being stopped over gruesome cuts around both eyes. Advertisement And - by the second round - after dozens of decent straight jabs the right eye was ripped open again and leaking blood into his vision. The bookies' favourite remained dangerous, plodding toward Adeleye like Adams Family butler Lurch. But the Brit was picking him off at range, sometimes on the backfoot, and slashing further at the oozing wounds. Hrgovic kept ploughing into the pugilist with the Portobello Road tattoo but Adeleye grinned back at his best blows. Advertisement 3 ITAUMA VS WHYTE LIVE BLOG - FOLLOW UPDATES FROM HUGE HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS And just before the bell, when looking pinned into a neutral corner, the Englishman landed a beautiful left hook - punch of the night hitherto - and buzzed the bloodied giant. Both men wasted time and energy in the fourth, Hrgovic hammering blows into Adeleye's inked abs or high guard and the left hook replies missing by miles. Advertisement Hrgovic showed glimpses of his 2016 Olympic pedigree in the fifth but his body-attack strategy was baffling. And before the sixth even started, both 17st hulks looked exhausted and started cuddling more than punching. Hrgovic dominated a dull sixth, when Adeleye was running on fumes and looking increasingly vulnerable and ringside Derek Chisora yelled 'you need a knockout, bro' before the seventh started. Adeleye listened and started the session with some crisp scoring shots but it was short lived as his engine betrayed him again after around 30 seconds. Adeleye was whacked by a massive right hand at the start of the eighth but he stuck his tongue out and roared in the silent little arena before getting dropped and taking a count. Advertisement Brilliantly he bounced back up to his white boots and then smashed Hrgovic around the ring until he nearly collapsed, but our boy could not score a revenge knockdown before the bell. Hrgovic was cautious and clever in the final two sessions but Adeleye emptied the tank and came up just short in a joyride he can be proud of.
