British boxer Moses Itauma is expected to make his comeback early in 2027, according to his promoter Frank Warren. Itauma's journey to heavyweight domination hit a snag when he lost to Filip Hrgovic in his first bid for a world title. The 21-year-old was stopped by the Croatian giant in the ninth round and was subsequently taken to the hospital but has since recovered well. Warren revealed that Itauma will begin his comeback trail next year with some new alterations.

Itauma's promoter, Frank Warren, has indicated that the young boxer is eager to return to the ring. "He's going to fight very early next year, I've spoken to him a few times," Warren told iFL TV. "He's actually back in the gym. I'm going to sit down with the team in the next week." Warren also mentioned that Itauma is very disappointed with his loss but is aware of what he did wrong. The team's plan is to make some serious changes to help Itauma rebuild.

Itauma's loss to Hrgovic has raised questions about his trainer, Ben Davison. Many critics have suggested that Davison played a role in Itauma's defeat and that the boxer may need to part ways with him. However, some have also argued that Itauma was too inexperienced and needed the rounds to gain valuable experience before facing a top opponent like Hrgovic. Itauma will likely face lower-level opponents in his comeback fights to rebuild his reputation.

Despite his loss, Itauma still has the potential to dominate the heavyweight division, according to talkSPORT Boxing's Paul Smith. Smith believes that Itauma lacked physical fitness in his fight against Hrgovic and needed someone to advise him to slow down and conserve energy. Smith expressed confidence that Itauma can become a champion, saying, "After watching that fight, I'd put my house on Moses dominating the division and becoming a champion."

Itauma's journey to becoming a champion will not be easy, as he faces tough competition in the heavyweight division. His next fights will be crucial in determining his future prospects. With a new approach and strategy, Itauma aims to bounce back from his defeat and make a strong impression in the boxing world. His promoter, Frank Warren, is expected to play a key role in guiding Itauma's comeback.

The boxing community has been eagerly waiting for Itauma's comeback, and his promoter has hinted that the young boxer's next fights will be carefully planned. Warren and his team will sit down to discuss Itauma's future fights and make necessary adjustments to help him achieve his goals. Itauma's fans are optimistic about his chances of becoming a champion and are eagerly awaiting his return to the ring.

Moses Itauma's comeback in early 2027 will be closely watched by boxing enthusiasts and critics alike. With his talent and determination, Itauma has the potential to make a significant impact in the heavyweight division. His promoter, Frank Warren, is confident that Itauma will bounce back from his defeat and achieve success in the future.
