Warren says Itauma plans early 2027 boxing return

Source: Punch Nigeria · 23 Sep 2026, 02:55 UTC

Promoter Frank Warren says heavyweight boxer Moses Itauma is expected to return to the ring in early 2027. Itauma’s comeback follows his first professional defeat, against Filip Hrgovic. Punch Nigeria provides no proposed date, venue, opponent or explanation of the boxer’s plans before the return.

Heavyweight boxer Moses Itauma is expected to return to the ring in early 2027, promoter Frank Warren has revealed, according to Punch Nigeria. The planned comeback follows Itauma’s first professional defeat. The report identifies Filip Hrgovic as the opponent in that loss but does not provide the fight’s date, location, result details or the scorecards.

Warren’s statement gives an anticipated timeframe rather than a confirmed bout. No opponent, venue or exact date has been announced in the supplied material, and there is no information about whether negotiations for a return fight have begun. The report also does not explain why Itauma is scheduled to remain out of action until early 2027 or describe his training plans.

It contains no comment from Itauma himself. The available information therefore establishes only that Warren expects the heavyweight to return during the early part of 2027 after suffering the first defeat of his professional career against Hrgovic.
