BREAKING: Moses Itauma DESTROYS Dillian Whyte in first round of heavyweight fight

Moses Itauma announced himself on the heavyweight stage by destroying Dillian Whyte inside two minutes.

Whyte forced Itauma to wait in the ring for almost six minutes as he delayed his walk too the square circle - much to the annoyance of the young man's trainer Ben Davison. But if Itauma had been irked, he did not show it as he started quickly and finished with aplomb.

On the undercard, Nick Ball retained his featherweight world title after a thrilling clash with Sam Goodman. The Liverpudlian, Britain's only male world champion, dug deep in the latter stages to overcome Goodman who had produced a composed display in his first world title fight.
