Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte Betting Tips
- Itauma WIN via KO/TKO in Rounds 1-4 @ 13/10
Judging by the latest odds with boxing betting sites, it is clear that Moses Itauma is an overwhelming pre-fight favourite to beat British heavyweight rival Dillian Whyte on Saturday, August 16.
The 20-year-old is being priced as short as 1/10 just to beat ‘The Body Snatcher’, and 2/9 to secure the knockout victory.
With that in mind, it could be tricky to find value when it comes to Itauma vs Whyte betting tips.
However, here at SportsCasting we have found one method of victory that appeals at reasonably generous odds.

Moses Itauma to WIN via KO/TKO In Rounds 1-4 @ 13/10
Moses Itauma’s next fight sees him listed as a comprehensive favourite to beat former world title challenger and British heavyweight veteran Dillian Whyte.
Having won 10 of his 12 fights via knockout, the southpaw fighter is evidently a huge puncher. It’s not only Itauma’s power that stands out, but his speed, accuracy and timing too.
Whyte looked sluggish in his last contest against Ebenezer Tetteh, despite still getting the job done inside the distance. That being said, he hasn’t fought a real live opponent since being knocked out by Tyson Fury at Wembley Stadium back in April 2022.
The clock is ticking for Whyte, who looks to be very much on the ‘back nine’ of his career. Itauma on the other hand is young, hungry, fresh and explosive.
Bar his two six rounders that went the distance early on in his pro career, the 2004-born Englishman has secured all 10 of his stoppage victories inside two rounds.
Yes, Whyte is a step up, but he is past his best and Itauma is incredibly dangerous early on. Expect this to be another quick night at the office for Moses Itauma, knocking Dillian Whyte out inside four rounds of their all-British heavyweight main event.
Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte Preview
After a quiet few weeks, boxing is back with a bang this weekend in Riyadh for the Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte heavyweight collision.
One world title fight feature on the undercard in Saudi Arabia too, with Nick Ball vs Sam Goodman going down for the WBA World Featherweight Title.
Other big fights on the night include Ray Ford vs Abraham Nova, Filip Hrgovic vs David Adeleye and much more. However, all eyes are on the main event in Riyadh as Itauma vs Whyte goes down at the top of the bill.
Itauma is being tipped for huge things in boxing, despite only being 20-years-old. Whyte on the other hand is nearly the end of his career, but is hoping for one last shot at becoming world heavyweight champion.
Dillian Whyte’s next fight after Itauma could well be for a world title if he wins, but if not he could be staring down the barrel of retirement. For Itauma, a win here and he may well be unleashed at world level despite his lack of experience and rawness.
Huge ramifications for the heavyweight division on the world stage this Saturday night from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as two of Britain’s best meet in a true crossroads fight.
