Moses Itauma is one of the most exciting names in boxing right now. He’s a former European and World Junior Champion who’s widely tipped to become Britain’s next heavyweight superstar.

I’ve always been really interested in the journey someone goes on before they become the next big thing and that’s exactly where Moses is.

At just 21, he’s on the brink of greatness as he prepares to face Jermaine Franklin this Saturday night. It’s a world away from where it all began… when he first stepped into a boxing gym aged nine and hated every second of it. From a small town in Slovakia to one of the most talked about heavyweight prospects in the world, Moses’s journey has been anything but ordinary.

In this episode, Moses shares:

- Leaving Slovakia at the age of 3 and building a new life in Kent

- Why he refuses to trash talk his opponents

- What really happened behind the scenes of his fight with Dillian Whyte

- What professional boxers actually get paid

- The mindset, discipline and habits that are taking him to the top

This isn’t just a conversation about boxing. It’s about resilience, belief and what it really takes to become the very best. Moses Itauma is Great Company.
