Derek Chisora Predicts Winner of Daniel Dubois vs Moses Itauma as Heavyweight Superfight Rumours Intensify
The heavyweight boxing world could be heading toward an explosive all-British showdown after Derek Chisora shared his bold prediction for a potential clash between Daniel Dubois and rising sensation Moses Itauma.
With speculation surrounding the blockbuster matchup continuing to grow, Chisora has now revealed who he believes would come out on top if the fight happened today—and his answer may not surprise boxing fans.
Following Dubois’ devastating knockout victory over Fabio Wardley, attention has quickly shifted toward what could be next for the heavyweight champion.
And for many supporters, one dream matchup stands above the rest:
Daniel Dubois vs Moses Itauma.
Daniel Dubois Strengthens Heavyweight Status After Brutal Fabio Wardley Win
Daniel Dubois recently delivered one of the biggest statements of his career after dismantling Fabio Wardley in a dramatic all-British heavyweight showdown on May 9.
The powerful Londoner stopped Wardley in emphatic fashion to secure the WBO heavyweight title, proving once again that he belongs among boxing’s elite heavyweight names.
The dominant performance immediately elevated conversations surrounding Dubois’ future, with fans and analysts beginning to debate potential mega-fights.
Among the names mentioned most frequently has been unbeaten heavyweight prodigy Moses Itauma.
Many believe the clash could become one of British boxing’s biggest heavyweight spectacles in years.
Moses Itauma Emerging as Heavyweight Boxing’s Next Superstar
At just 21 years old, Moses Itauma has rapidly become one of the most exciting prospects in world boxing.
The young heavyweight has consistently impressed fans with a frightening mix of knockout power, explosive speed, technical ability, and maturity far beyond his years.
His calm mentality inside the ring and ability to finish opponents convincingly have led many experts to tip him as a future world champion.
Some boxing insiders have even suggested Itauma possesses the potential to dominate the heavyweight division sooner than expected.
Because both Dubois and Itauma fight under Queensberry Promotions, rumors surrounding a future showdown have only intensified.
For many fans, the fight feels almost inevitable.
But who would actually win?
Derek Chisora Gives Daniel Dubois the Edge
Speaking about the possible heavyweight war during an interview with Seconds Out, Derek Chisora admitted he currently favors Daniel Dubois.
The veteran heavyweight believes Dubois’ experience at the highest level gives him a major advantage over the still-developing Itauma.
According to Chisora, Dubois’ world-level experience, championship pedigree, and recent momentum make him the logical favorite.
In Chisora’s eyes, Dubois has now entered the prime stage of his career and proven he can deliver under enormous pressure.
Having battled elite competition and captured championship success, Dubois appears significantly more battle-tested than the younger challenger.
For that reason, Chisora believes the current heavyweight champion would likely leave victorious if the pair stepped into the ring today.
But Chisora Sends Serious Warning About Moses Itauma
Despite backing Dubois, Chisora made it clear that overlooking Moses Itauma would be a dangerous mistake.
The veteran heavyweight emphasized that Itauma represents a completely unique threat in the division.
With elite hand speed, heavy power, and natural boxing instincts, the young contender has quickly become one of boxing’s most unpredictable rising stars.
Chisora acknowledged that while Dubois may currently hold the advantage, Itauma’s upside and explosiveness make him dangerous for absolutely anyone in the heavyweight division.
That unpredictability is exactly why fans remain fascinated by the potential matchup.
While Dubois carries proven experience, Itauma brings youthful fearlessness and huge potential.
Why Dubois vs Itauma Is Not Happening Yet
Although excitement continues building around the fight, an official announcement still appears some distance away.
According to reports, Daniel Dubois may first be forced into a rematch against Fabio Wardley due to a clause attached to their recent bout.
That potential rematch could temporarily delay any immediate plans involving Itauma.
Meanwhile, Moses Itauma already has business of his own to handle.
The unbeaten heavyweight prospect is reportedly set to headline a major event at London’s O2 Arena on August 8, 2026, continuing his step-by-step rise through the heavyweight ranks.
Promoter Frank Warren is expected to carefully manage Itauma’s development before potentially pushing him toward a world title opportunity.
Still, many believe the path between the two fighters is eventually destined to cross.
A Future British Heavyweight Classic?
If Daniel Dubois vs Moses Itauma eventually becomes reality, the matchup could represent one of the biggest British heavyweight fights in modern boxing.
On one side stands Dubois—a proven world champion entering his prime.
On the other stands Itauma—the dangerous young phenom many believe could become the division’s future king.
For now, Derek Chisora believes Dubois would likely prevail if the fight happened immediately.
But even he recognizes the danger Itauma poses.
And in heavyweight boxing, one punch can change absolutely everything.
The biggest question now is simple:
Will Frank Warren eventually deliver the all-British heavyweight blockbuster fans are desperately waiting for?
