Moses Itauma, who is under the guidance of Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, is widely regarded as the heir apparent to the heavyweight throne. Eddie Hearn is looking to the future to ensure he owns a stake in the division for years to come.

Itauma did everything right as a pro, going 13-0 with 11 stoppages. In his last fight, he defeated former world challenger Dillian Whyte in two minutes.

Despite injury delaying his next challenge against Jermaine FranklinThe 21-year-old is expected to continue his impressive run when fight night arrives next month. The world title is coming and there should be a changing of the guard within the next 24 months.

While Itama leads the new generation of big men, there are other exciting names on the rise. Top Rank’s Richard Torrez has impressed across the pond, and Matchroom, which has had arguably the biggest star in the sport since his debut in Anthony Joshua, won’t go down without a fight.

In his stable, Hearn pointed out to IFL TV two heavyweights who will “rock” with Itauma in the future: Teremoana Teremoana and Leo Atang.

“(Itauma) is an outstanding talent. He’s a one-time talent; that’s the best word. One-time.

“I have to find some heavyweights that can really rock with him for the next three or four years, and I think there are two heavyweights that can really rock with him. One of them is going to be rocking with him in six to 12 months, and that’s Teremoana, and the other is Leo Atang.”

Australia’s Teremoana is 9-0 with nine early finishes and has the charisma to be a fan favorite in the heavyweight division. With Matchroom actively working in Australia, he will have the right support to grow, and he himself has floated the idea of ​​a huge fight with Itauma.

Perhaps more interesting to fans in the coming years will be Don, the 4-0 Yorkshire native who has been compared to “AJ.” After a third-round win over Armin Busceta last month, he will return on February 21 on the undercard of Leigh Wood against Josh Warrington. Atang, 19, is far behind Itama in development but welcomes the idea of ​​competition brewing in England. Hearn knows this in particular will take time, and when that happens, Itama will likely be the champion.

“We need more time, he (Atang) is 18 and 10 games behind (Itauma). If Leo is going to fight for the world heavyweight title, he will be fighting Moses.

“I can give you a lot of hype, but the reality is, anything can happen. You really need a lot of luck along the way.”

All three talents showed that the heavyweight division can thrive when the likes of Alexander Usyk, Tyson Fury and Joshua end their campaigns.
