Moses Itauma has had yet another route to a world title presented to him after the WBA ordered him to challenge for Kubrat Pulev’s WBA (Regular) heavyweight title.
Itauma has been struggling to find his next opponent ahead of his December 13 ring return alongside Derek Chisora.
It was initially rumoured that Itauma would face Filip Hrgovic, who shared a card with Itauma, outpointing David Adeyele, before Itauma demolished former world title challenger Dillian Whyte in less than a round in August.
Frank Warren has since revealed that Hrgovic priced himself out of the fight, and the search for an opponent has continued.
The latest frontrunners, Michael Hunter and Adeleye, were revealed earlier this month.
Whilst Warren scrambles to find an appropriate challenge for his rising phenom, Pulev has been ordered to face the Itauma, who is the WBA’s number one-ranked contender at heavyweight.
