London, UK (June 28, 2024) - Moses Itauma, the undefeated heavyweight prospect with a record of 9-0 (7 KOs), is set to face seasoned veteran Mariusz Wach 38-10 (20 KOs) on the undercard of the highly anticipated Joe Joyce vs. Derek Chisora collision. The bout will take place on July 27th at the O2 Arena in London.

A Significant Step-Up for Itauma

Although his ambition to win seems to have waned in recent years, Wach's resilience and experience in the ring make him a formidable opponent.

Wach recently lost a decision to Frazer Clarke and was stopped by Arslanbek Makhmudov in 2022. Despite these setbacks, his performance against top-level competition, including a respectable showing against Dillian Whyte in 2019, demonstrates that he can still pose challenges to rising stars.
