Former two-weight world champion Carl Frampton has given his Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte prediction for Saturday’s blockbuster heavyweight match-up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Northern Irishman has provided his honest assessment of the upcoming Itauma vs Whyte clash in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, August 16.
Carl Frampton Gives Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte Prediction
When it comes to boxing, it’s fair to say that Carl Frampton knows a thing or two. The former two-weight world champion is no stranger to a super-fight, having been in plenty of his own over the years.
Since retirement, Bellew has provided punditry and commentary for TNT Sports before now working for DAZN. He has remained in boxing in some capacity, despite no longer lacing the gloves up himself.
Frampton will be at ringside in Riyadh on Saturday night, and has given his own honest option with a short and sweet Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte prediction.
The 20-year-old is the overriding favourite with boxing betting sites to defeat former world heavyweight champion Whyte, which the majority of fans and boxing pundits are in agreement with.
As a former fighter and multi-weight world champion, Frampton’s opinion on the Itauma vs Whyte fight will be highly respected and backed by boxing punters.
With that in mind, the Northern Irishman is expecting Saturday’s fight to end inside the distance. Not only that, but ‘The Jackal’ is expecting it to finish inside the opening six rounds.
Dillian Whyte’s next fight is one Frampton is finding it hard to back him in, giving the advantage to the younger, fresher, faster and more powerful Moses Itauma.
Frampton: ‘It Could Be An Early Night’
As a recent guest on talkSPORT’s talkBOXING podcast, Carl Frampton gave a brutally honest assessment of the Itauma vs Whyte fight.
Frampton is now a pundit for DAZN, the global home of boxing. Both Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions alongside Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing have a broadcast deal with the streaming platform.
As someone who regularly watches fights and has been a pundit ever since his retirement back in April 2021, the Northern Irishman has kept his ear to the ground when it comes to calling fights.
That seems to be the case for Saturday’s blockbuster heavyweight clash, with Frampton seemingly in agreement with SportsCasting‘s Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte betting tips.
The former two-weight world champion is struggling to see a route to victory for the former world heavyweight title challenger, despite having the vast experience advantage and having been in the ring with the likes of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Ultimately though, Frampton is predicting an early knockout victory for Itauma:
“I think he’s a very neat and tidy boxer. Moses clearly punches hard, the fastest hands in the heavyweight division, I think. I think it could be an early night,” concluded ‘The Jackal’.
Carl Frampton’s Itauma vs Whyte Prediction Priced @ 4/6 Odds
With the Itauma vs Whyte fight almost upon us, boxing fans will be placing their bets for the main event in Riyadh.
As the 1/9 betting favourite, finding value on Moses Itauma’s next fight could be tricky. He is even priced at 2/9 to win inside the distance, which presents little to no value whatsoever.
However, if you back Carl Frampton’s Itauma vs Whyte prediction then you could be onto a winner. Given that the Northern Irishman has predicted an ‘early night’ in the 20-year-old’s favour, betting on the 12-0 prospect to win in a selection of rounds could be the way to go.
With that in mind, an ‘early night’ could mean inside the first half of the contest. If this is what ‘The Jackal’ means, then backing Itauma to win inside Round 1-6 is priced at odds of 4/6.
Although still highly favourable, 4/6 presents some form of value for punters when placing their Itauma vs Whyte bets.
Another option for Frampton’s prediction could be to back Itauma to win inside four rounds (11/8) or perhaps even three rounds (9/4).
Time will tell how accurate Carl Frampton’s Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte prediction is, and whether or not it will help some boxing bettors win some extra cash.
