Moses Itauma’s heavyweight fight with Dillian Whyte on Saturday in Saudi Arabia will broadcast live on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds.<\/b><\/p>\n
The all-British encounter sees the unbeaten Itauma take on seasoned contender and former world title challenger Whyte.<\/p>\n
Radio coverage of the main event will begin from 22:00 BST on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds and the undercard action will be available on 5 Live Sports Extra and BBC Sounds from 19:30 BST.<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s Nick Ball defends his WBA featherweight world title against Sam Goodman in the co-main event, while London heavyweight David Adeleye faces Filip Hrgovic.<\/p>\n
There will be live text commentary of the undercard and main event on the BBC Sport website and app.<\/p>\n
The fight night radio commentary team will include Ronald McIntosh, Steve Bunce and retired world champion Richie Woodhall.<\/p>\n
Bunce will also deliver daily podcasts from Riyadh during fight week.<\/p>\n
Itauma, 20, has the chance to make himself a top contender when he takes on 37-year-old Whyte.<\/p>\n
The young Englishman has 10 knockouts in 12 fights and his 83% stoppage rate has made him one of the most hyped prospects in the division.<\/p>\n
But Whyte is a huge step up for the youngster, with 34 professional fights and 31 wins under his belt.<\/p>\n
The winner will set themselves up for a run at a world title shot, with Oleksandr Usyk currently holding all the belts after his demolition of Daniel Dubois in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
