Itauma (12-0, 10 KOs), a native of Slovakia who fights out of England, will headline his first pay-per-view card ( DAZN PPV, 12:45 p.m. ET -- buy now) when he takes on former title challenger DIllian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) in a 10-round bout from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

20-year-old Itauma (12-0, 10 KO), the hot prospect and heavy favorite, weighed in at 235.5 as listed by DAZN, though Michael Buffer did announce 245.5. The 235 weight would be the lowest of Itauma’s young pro career, while the 245 would still be lower than his weights against either Demsey McKean or Mike Balogun, his two most recent foes.
