Derek Chisora has pointed out the problem Moses Itauma will have in his career, saying that he will suffer from a lack of real competition.

Itauma has emerged as a brutal force in recent times, holding an unbeaten record of 13-0, with 11 of his victories coming by knockout.

The 20-year-old possesses a sensational skill set and has been compared to greats like Mike Tyson from a very early age.

Speaking to First Round TV, Chisora was asked about Itauma’s future, to which he said it's bright, but he would also suffer from a lack of real competition.

“Moses Itauma, yeah man, because there is no one up at heavyweight who fights southpaw and can bang like him. Put it this way, the problem they will have with Moses is no one wants to fight him,” Chisora said.

“Tyson retires, myself retires, AJ retires, Dillian retires, who else, Usyk retires, OK great, Moses versus Lawrence Okolie, its a fight I would love to watch but I’m not going to rush to spend my money to watch it.

“Moses versus Fabio, amazing fight, which I know will only go four or five rounds, yeah ill pay to watch it, Moses versus Agit Kabayel, cracking fight for both fighters, so when I look at those three, that’s it.”

He added that no such talents are coming in the world in the heavyweight division, and America is also not producing the likes of Muhammad Ali or Tyson anymore.

“In America, there’s nothing else, there’s no one else coming up with anything exciting, yeh so Moses Itauma will be carrying the flag for the whole world but he’s not going to have any opponents to fight cause nobody’s gunna want to get their ass whooped,” he added.
