At just 22 years old, could Itauma become the second-youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history? They then discuss Itauma’s incredible rise, the threat Hrgovic presents, and what a victory would mean for the future of the heavyweight division. Plus, the recent Rayo vs. Shakur Stevenson Twitter beef has sparked plenty of conversation. Could the online back-and-forth eventually lead to a real fight under the Zuffa Boxing banner? The guys examine the potential matchup and whether the social media tension can turn into a legitimate showdown.
