Itauma vs Balogun

Moses Itauma Set for Return Against Mike Balogun on May 24 in Glasgow

Rising British heavyweight Moses Itauma will return to action on May 24, taking on American veteran Mike Balogun at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow. The bout marks a significant step in Itauma’s young career, as the 20-year-old southpaw looks to extend his unbeaten record to 12-0. With 9 of his 11 wins coming by knockout, Itauma has quickly become one of the most talked-about prospects in the sport.

Standing across from him will be Balogun, a seasoned and rugged opponent whose experience will provide the toughest test yet for the promising Brit. The fight presents a classic contrast: youthful power and pedigree versus hardened ring experience.

Serving as the co-main event, the heavyweight clash will feature on a DAZN-broadcast card headlined by a compelling domestic showdown between Josh Taylor and Ekow Essuman. Together, the matchups showcase two vastly different stages of a boxing career—one just beginning to bloom, the other seeking continued dominance.
