Description
Enriko Moses Itauma (born 28 December 2004) is a British professional boxer. He has challenged once for the IBF heavyweight title in August 2026. At regional level, he has held the Commonwealth heavyweight title since 2025.
Early life
Enriko Moses Itauma was born in Slovakia in the town of Kežmarok to a Nigerian father and Slovak mother. He is the younger brother of light-heavyweight boxer Karol Itauma. He and his family experienced racism in Slovakia stating, "Me and my brothers got racially abused. It wasn't a good place to be." Finally, the family decided to migrate to England, firstly to leave the racist environment they were in and secondly to search for new opportunities which Slovakia did not provide. He was three years old when he moved to Chatham, Kent.
Growing up, his favourite fighter was Prince Naseem Hamed. Itauma has since stated that he tries to implement elements of Hamed's style into his own game, saying, "I used to watch a lot of Naseem Hamed. I must have watched the same video of him about 50 times, I remember it was a highlight reel which started off with him dancing. He was one of my favourite fighters. I've got a different style from him but I do try to implement some of the things he used to do." Itauma got into boxing at the age of nine through his brother Karol (who was an amateur boxer at the time) who then invited him to the boxing gym one day. However, after a few hard boxing sessions, he switched to playing football with his other brother Samuel. Later on, he switched back to boxing at St Mary's ABC in Chatham, Kent, after finding football boring.
At the age of 16, he reportedly went to a gym, still in his school uniform and sparred cruiserweight world champion Lawrence Okolie. Anthony Fowler, who was at the gym described the moment: "I walk in the gym and there’s this kid there in a school uniform. This kid just went forward the whole spar throwing bombs. I think he half-winded Lawrence with the left hand to the body. He was relentless for three rounds on him, throwing non-stop punches. No one could believe it in the gym."
