Itauma vs Whyte Betting Odds

On August 16, 2025, a boxing event will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the main event being a fight between two British heavyweight boxers: Moses Itauma and Dillian Whyte. Although few people bet on Whyte to win due to the age difference between the athletes, Itauma faces a serious challenge — success will certainly not come easily, as his opponent is very experienced and has held championship titles in the past. Further on, we will analyze the Itauma vs Whyte betting odds for bets at bookmakers and predictions for the upcoming fight.

Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte tournament details

Two fights will take place during the boxing evening in Riyadh: Itauma vs Whyte and Hrgović vs. Adeleye. Both are interesting in their way. But the public’s attention is focused on the first fight, which will begin at around 10:20 pm BST. This is largely due to the hype surrounding Moses, who by the age of 20 had already become the world champion according to several boxing organizations. Dillian is also no stranger to the sport — he, too, has held championship titles, and 30 of his 33 fights have ended in victory.

Bookmakers are already taking bets on the match. Although many are convinced that the effective knockout artist Itauma will not be able to knock out his experienced opponent, the odds still favor him. Predictions from sports analysts also promise success for him.

Itauma vs Whyte predictions

Bookmakers consider Itauma to be the most likely winner of the upcoming fight. The main reason is the athlete’s age. He is currently only 20 years old, while his opponent is 37. The older athlete is likely to be in poorer shape. At the very least, he will tire more quickly, which will prevent him from performing effectively in the second half of the match.

But that doesn’t mean that Moses’ victory will be easy. Dillian has a lot of experience, with 33 pro fights under his belt and even more as an amateur. So his opponent definitely won’t be able to knock him out in the early rounds.

Despite this, the betting odds favor the young boxer. The vast majority of bookmakers give him odds of less than 1.3, while his opponent has odds of more than 7. Here are the odds set for betting on the fight at Vivatbet.

As for the number of rounds, bookmakers are unsure how many there will be. The odds for over and under 3.5 rounds are roughly the same — 1.7–1.9 on average. This means that bookmakers believe that the boxer of Jamaican origin will not give up the fight just like that, but still admit the possibility of a knockout by his younger opponent.
