Moses Itauma has been given the red carpet treatment by his promoters, the media and fans alike so far on his boxing journey, despite having not yet encountered a legitimately ranked opponent. There are some who say it’s a magic carpet he rides, befitting the skills and talents of the next heavyweight star.

Alex and Matt discuss this as well as the news lines and the other heavyweight fight on the Saudi bill as David Adeleye steps up against Filip Hrgovic.
