Tyson’s record of becoming the youngest heavyweight champion could be broken by a 19-year-old boxer.
In November 1986, after defeating Trevor Berbick by knockout in the second round, Mike Tyson made boxing history by becoming the youngest heavyweight boxer in the world to win a world championship at the age of 20 years and 145 days.
Mike “The Steel”‘s record has stood for 38 years and is now being threatened by Moses Itauma, a 19-year-old British star of Slovakian origin.

Moses now trains with Ben Davison in Essex, England, where he has the opportunity to interact with Olympic champion and two-time world champion Anthony Joshua. Although he has not had the chance to face Joshua in training sessions, Itauma has received valuable advice from his senior.
“He not only helped me in the ring but also gave me a lot of advice about life. Little things like how to spend money, find a good lawyer and invest money. He opened my eyes and I really appreciate that,” Itauma shared with Dailystar.
Itauma also said that he has a lot of respect for Joshua and always listens to his advice. “Whatever he tells me, I listen. He has helped me a lot in the ring with many tips but we have never sparred together.”
However, Itauma said he had ignored Joshua’s advice in the past. After winning the 2022 U18 World Championship, Itauma turned professional under the management of Francis Warren, despite Joshua’s advice to wait and try for an Olympic spot. But Itauma did turn professional, currently holding a perfect record of nine wins, seven of which came by knockout.
Itauma will next face veteran Mariusz Wach in the opening match of the Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora event on July 27. Under the guidance of Ben Davison, Tyson Fury’s former trainer, Itauma believes he is making a strong transition to become a true professional boxer.
Will Joshua’s (right) advice help Itauma (left) break Tyson’s record?
“When I first came to see Ben, he told me I needed to be efficient. I had a 10-round sparring session this week and I still felt like I could go on. Usually I’m out of breath after four rounds. He told me it’s not that I don’t have the stamina, I just haven’t tapped into it yet. Simple things like how to push someone back without throwing a punch. It’s simple but very important,” Itauma revealed.
With Davison’s guidance and Joshua’s advice, Itauma is well on his way to becoming a big name in the boxing world. Let’s see if he can break Mike Tyson’s record and become the youngest heavyweight champion in history.
