Eddie Hearn believes he has the future heavyweight king in his Matchroom stable, predicting a future battle between his charge and Moses Itauma.
Many believe Itauma, at 21 years old, has the ring IQ, temperament and physical attributes to reign supreme over his division in years to come.
But while that might prove to be the case, there is also a selection of rising prospects who could pose a serious challenge to the talented Brit.
One of whom is Teremoana Teremoana, who extended his flawless record to 10-0 (10 KOs) after scoring a first-round finish over limited heavyweight Curtis Harper.
The pair collided in the undercard of Carlos Adames vs Austin Williams, which took place at the Caribe Royale, Orlando, in the early hours of Sunday morning. Hearn talked up his charge pre-fight, saying he believed he is a world heavyweight champion in waiting.
Previously, Harper had suffered stoppage defeats to Olympic silver medallist Richard Torrez Jr and Bakhodir Jalolov, who defeated Teremoana at the Paris Games in 2024.
The American, however, is perhaps better known for his disqualification against Efe Agagba in 2018, which saw him walk out of the ring without even throwing a punch.
It therefore came as no great surprise when Teremoana scored his seventh consecutive first-round stoppage, landing a thudding right hand that sent Harper crashing to the canvas.

Clearly, the 28-year-old carries serious power and possesses a sharp boxing brain, but whether he can replicate this success against a higher standard of opposition remains to be seen – that’s where Hearn comes in, hoping to keep him busy and up the levels as he goes.
Either way, the Australian has proven to be a fan-friendly customer for viewers on DAZN, often delivering a highlight-reel knockout that merits considerable engagement on social media.
