What has been said?
In a candid conversation with Sam Matterface, Alex Crook, and Darragh MacAnthony on talkSPORT on Tuesday morning, Itauma admitted to being dropped twice in sparring.
"I have in sparring, twice actually. I'm not ashamed of it. It happens," he said when asked if he had been knocked down before.
"Once when I was 13/14 and once when I was 16. I feel like I needed it, especially the last time I've been put on my ass.
"Yeah, I was getting too big-headed. I was a two-time European gold medallist.
"I was a two-time national champion. I was just like, 'I don't need to train. I'm gonna be this. I'm gonna be that.'
"And then I turned up to sparring. I got put on my arse, and I was like 'Okay, I need to wake up now.'
"I was supposed to spar Joe Joyce and then he never turned up. And the guy I was meant to be sparring, I was looking at him on the pads and I'm like, 'He doesn't look that good.'
"So I was like, 'I'm going to go in and blast him out and then I'll be on my way home.'
"In the first round I got a shock. Then we had a little ding dong and things escalated really quickly."
Itauma's explosive all-action style has led to him being branded 'Britain's Mike Tyson' by the national press.
