York Hall witnessed another explosive performance from the rising star of the heavyweight division, Moses Itauma, as he secured a decisive first-round knockout victory over Dan Garber. Itauma, dubbed the “savior” of the heavyweights, showcased his dominance once again, effortlessly dispatching Garber in a manner that left no doubt about his potential in the ring.
At just 19 years old, Itauma boasts an impressive undefeated record of 8-0, with the majority of his wins coming by way of knockout. Garber, with a more modest record of 6-3, stood little chance against the power and skill of Itauma. From the moment Itauma landed his first punch, Garber appeared outmatched and overwhelmed, ultimately succumbing to the relentless assault.
Referee Mark Bates appeared poised to intervene for Garber’s safety, but allowed the bout to continue, much to the delight of the spectators eager for a thrilling showdown. Itauma wasted no time in seizing the opportunity, relentlessly pursuing Garber until Bates deemed it necessary to halt the contest, awarding Itauma his fourth consecutive knockout victory.
With his spot secured on the undercard of the upcoming Fury vs. Usyk bout in Saudi Arabia on May 18th, the question now arises: who will dare to step into the ring with this formidable young talent next?
In the main event of the evening, Ash Lane, a veteran of the sport with a storied career, defied the odds to claim victory over Chris Bourke and capture both the British and Commonwealth titles in the bantamweight division.
Lane’s journey to championship glory is a testament to his perseverance and determination, having overcome numerous challenges throughout his career. Despite setbacks, Lane continued to push forward, culminating in a remarkable comeback that solidifies his status as a champion in British boxing.
