Well, we have the answer on whether British heavyweight phenom Moses Itauma would wipe out his first "named" opponent and we're ready to recap that fight/the Riyadh DAZN card and more on the newest "Fight Freaks Unite Recap Podcast."
Host T.J. Rives and insider Dan Rafael of his Fight Freaks Unite Substack and Newsletter are back.
They Recap Saturday’s Queensberry/DAZN PPV card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where Itauma took two mintues to dispatch Dillian Whyte and grow his legend. The guys have thoughts on Itauma an what should be next. Is it possibly Filip Hrgovic who had a battle on the undercard, including a great 8th round of drama, with David Adeleye before winning by decision? Or will it be someone else?

Also, Junior lightweight Hayato Tsutsumi squahes Qais Ashfaq, junior lightweight Raymond Ford defeats vet Abraham Nova in 10 and lightweight prospect Mohammed Alakel KO's Yumnam Santosh Singh in one round.
