00:00 Okay, I'm going to say stop, stop boxing. I'm going to say break, take a step back.
00:04 Keep your head up, protect yourself all the time. Good luck to you, lads. Good luck.
00:08 Pretty stern face-off there from Natauma and Segeti.
00:11 Scheduled for eight rounds and light heavyweight this one.
00:16 Segeti looks a big set lad.
00:18 He looks big, his head, his big bone structure.
00:21 Second round.
00:22 He's got that big bone structure, he's got that unbeaten record as well.
00:27 Just one blemish, he had a draw in his third fight.
00:31 Karol Natauma, very talented southpaw.
00:35 And what you may start hearing over commentary
00:54 are instructions in Slovakian.
00:57 And that would actually be from the Natauma corner.
01:02 Moses Natauma calls out.
01:05 Good right hook.
01:07 Natauma.
01:09 When Moses is fighting, Karol calls out instruction as well.
01:14 I've spoken to Karol about this before.
01:16 He says he always hears the voice of Moses.
01:19 It could be a packed out stadium and he's boxed in those.
01:22 Boxed on the undercard of Fury White and the undercard of Fury Chizora.
01:26 Good shot, good backhand.
01:28 Gets through with that backhand there.
01:30 Looks good as he is, just being patient with it.
01:33 Good shot.
01:34 He is patient, he's a very patient boxer.
01:38 Very poised.
01:39 And gets through.
01:42 He's got the attention of Segeti there.
01:45 Just backed him into the corner there, Segeti.
01:50 Just clings on.
01:52 As you can see, Moses Natauma on camera,
01:55 bellowing instructions in Slovakian to his brother.
01:59 Javier just had to give Segeti a little ticking off there.
02:10 Paye vocal in the corner.
02:22 He's looking for that backhand, Natauma.
02:29 It's landed a few times.
02:31 And Segeti holds on.
02:35 Holds on.
02:36 The referee has had to bring him apart a few times.
02:46 Just can't let Segeti get too close.
02:48 It makes it messy.
02:49 He's put on a good shot.
02:51 It's a body shot that slipped through from Karol Natauma as well.
02:55 And this is a good start from Karol, this is confident.
02:59 He's finding the shots, he's landing the shots.
03:04 There's a couple of times he's got Segeti's attention so far.
03:07 Already...
03:08 Be careful, because he can't get close to the counter-attack.
03:10 Last ten seconds.
03:16 Segeti.
03:23 Once getting in close and just sort of grabbing on in those moments.
03:30 Yeah, good first round.
03:32 Yeah, certainly a Karol Natauma round.
03:34 We're looking at Moses there.
03:36 Of course, the younger brother.
03:38 Four years between them.
03:40 Karol Natauma turned pro in 2020 during lockdown.
03:44 Turned pro on the undercard of Anthony Yard and Lyndon Arthur.
03:47 One of those lockdown shows.
03:49 Of course, Moses Natauma only turned professional last year.
03:53 January it was.
03:54 It feels like he's been pro for a long time.
03:56 It feels like both of these Karol, both of these Natauma brothers
03:59 have been around for ages.
04:01 It's good they've got such a good profile.
04:03 Yeah.
04:04 Particularly, obviously, with Moses hoping to become the youngest heavyweight champion,
04:09 world champion.
04:11 And obviously the way he's been blasting people out.
04:14 Obviously, the Natauma name's a very big name.
04:17 Ten seconds.
04:18 But you're right, it does feel like they've been pros a lot longer.
04:20 Yeah, it really does.
04:21 A lot longer.
04:22 And there's another brother as well, and he's just had his first amateur fight.
04:24 And he was victorious.
04:26 So I think that we'll be hearing from the Natauma brothers
04:29 for a long time in boxing.
04:31 A lot of talent.
04:33 Fighting blood.
04:34 Good right jab to the body.
04:37 Do that and then come over the top with a right hook.
04:39 That's it.
04:40 Preoccupy with the jab to the body, then come over the top.
04:43 Good.
04:44 Good right hook.
04:52 It's frustrating because I almost want to shout.
04:58 I almost want to tell him.
05:00 What's he doing well so far, Nathan?
05:07 Well, this round, he's preoccupying with the low.
05:10 He's just changing the height level of the shot.
05:12 Jab to the body, jab to the body.
05:13 Then right hook to the head.
05:14 See, so he's preoccupying with the body shot.
05:17 So his opponent's expecting him to go low.
05:19 Then as he goes low, he can feint, go low, and then come over the top with a right hook.
05:23 He's expecting.
05:25 He should be setting traps, essentially, which is what he's doing.
05:28 The trap being getting him to respond to the body or go to the top of the head.
05:32 He's just got him backed up against the ropes there.
05:41 So get him.
05:42 Just gets a little ticking off there from the referee, Lee Avery.
05:47 But this time, he could now come back to the body, but then go with a straight left to the top of the head.
05:52 So we might go to the jab with the body.
05:55 His opponent will then expect a right hook to be coming.
05:58 But then if he switches it to the left, he can start.
06:00 See what Sageti's getting a little bit marked up as well.
06:02 He's not enjoying this so far, that stern face-off before the first bell.
06:06 Doesn't look so stern now.
06:08 He's starting to look just a little bit more weathered.
06:11 Plenty of success from Karol Itama through these first two rounds.
06:15 Just over a minute left here in the second.
06:18 He's looking for that uppercut, Sageti.
06:22 He should get back to what he was doing before.
06:25 Just get the jab to the body, preoccupy him and come over to the top.
06:28 Keep the range.
06:30 Good left hook there, good left hook there.
06:33 It hurts him, that's good left hook.
06:35 Looks like he's just clinging on there.
06:37 A little warning for the shoulder.
06:43 Another warning for Sageti, a little ticking off from the referee.
06:46 Pinned into the corner briefly.
06:49 A couple of body shots slip in there from Karol Itama.
06:52 Again, Sageti just making it a little bit messy.
06:55 Trying to smother Itama in there.
06:58 Little sneaky shots on the back of the head.
07:00 I'm sure he'll get another ticking off of that as well.
07:03 And he does.
07:05 Wonderful counter there.
07:08 Just invited him in, Karol Itama, and then came back with something pretty big.
07:12 Patiently now.
07:15 See when he's straight back on the jab to the body, he controls it completely.
07:19 10 seconds left here in the second round.
07:22 You get into this weird thing when you're boxing.
07:28 If something's working, you almost feel like something's going to go wrong in a second.
07:32 So you stop doing what's great, because you feel like, why does it keep working?
07:37 If it's working, don't change it.
07:39 The only thing he needs to probably change is...
07:41 Let's see, he's going to jab, right hand jab to the body.
07:44 And then going for a right hook.
07:46 What he could do is, the opponent could go for the right hand to the body.
07:50 Instead of going for the right hook, which the opponent's going to expect,
07:53 he can then switch it to left hook, just keep changing.
07:55 It's been a good first two rounds though for Karol Itama.
08:00 You can see Sageti is trying to make it messy in there.
08:04 He's already got ticked off a few times from the referee.
08:07 Getting a bit of instruction from his corner.
08:10 But that's what they're meant to do. They're meant to make it messy.
08:13 They're there to ruin you and spoil you.
08:16 But someone like Karol Itama...
08:18 His whole background is based on being able to hit and not get hit in that range.
08:24 I like seeing that Sabar can jab to the body and then mix up to the head.
08:30 You can see the ringside area getting more full now.
08:34 Francis Warren, the manager.
08:35 See, every time he controls it with that jab to the body.
08:37 And then he can just change the level at the top with whatever shot he selects.
08:41 That's it, keep it up, jab to the body.
08:43 Nathan Heaney is now actually bellowing instructions to Karol Itama.
08:47 He's seen something. Whatever he's saying is working, Nathan.
08:50 Straight back to the body.
08:53 And then, and then we'll be shot to the head, that's it.
08:57 Then switch the level to the top.
08:58 Good. Sorry, sorry, I'm on the mic here.
09:02 We can, of course, we can hear Nathan Heaney in the mic.
09:04 He's shouting out to the crowd.
09:06 He's got a bit of a headwind.
09:07 He's got a bit of a headwind.
09:08 We can, of course, we can hear Nathan Heaney in the mic.
09:10 He's shouting at Karol Itama, but whatever he is saying is working.
09:13 Stalking, gets through with the left, gets through with the right.
09:20 Opening up a little bit here.
09:21 But break up the distance now, because he's covering up.
09:24 He's in a shell, so it's very hard to break when you're in a shell like that.
09:27 He's come out swinging, but again, clinging on.
09:30 But he's just starting to ship a few there.
09:32 He's busting them up a little bit.
09:34 You can see, you can see his face, he's ready.
09:36 And this isn't a circuit fighter, this is no journeyman.
09:41 This is an unbeaten fighter.
09:43 Karol Itama, that's a big lift.
09:45 Just like that, just like that.
09:47 Jab to the body, went from the straight left to the head the same.
09:51 Again, Seghetti just kind of making it messy in there.
09:54 But when Itama just gets that little bit of distance,
09:58 and that was wonderful there,
09:59 when he gets that little bit of distance, he lands his shots.
10:03 He's backing him into the corner now, big left hand.
10:06 If he keeps doing this, he'll stop him.
10:08 If he keeps doing this, he'll stop him.
10:09 You can see he's breaking down, he's breaking down.
10:12 Looking a bit more ragged, a bit more weathered now, Seghetti.
10:17 He is being systematically broken down
10:23 right here tonight at the copper box by Karol Itama.
10:31 Good shot coming back though.
10:33 That's where he needs to be.
10:35 He needs to just stay switched on.
10:37 He doesn't want to get into a swing up with Seghetti.
10:40 Doesn't need to.
10:42 No, he doesn't need to.
10:43 He just needs to get in the range again
10:45 and break him down with that jab to the body,
10:47 what he was doing before.
10:49 No, the jab to the body is not really the one that's causing damage.
10:52 It's just preoccupying him to set up for the shot for the top.
10:55 Good movement, good movement.
10:58 Good move.
10:59 Just teasing with that lead hand.
11:09 Seghetti is definitely feeling the pace though.
11:20 400% feeling the pace.
11:21 Yes, you can see it.
11:22 There's not a lot of attacks being mounted.
11:25 He's just sort of slowly backing up and being backed up as well by Itama.
11:29 Three rounds complete here.
11:31 Scheduled for eight in the light heavyweight division.
11:34 And as we've just seen, Seghetti just caught a slump on his stool.
11:39 Not on the screen at the moment, of course, we're looking at Karol Itama,
11:42 but I've got Seghetti in front of me slouched onto his stool.
11:45 Eight rounds.
11:46 Eight rounds, this is scheduled for.
11:48 And he doesn't look as interested as what he did at the very start of the fight.
11:52 If you're looking like that in the fourth round, you're feeling the pace big time.
11:58 He is feeling the pace.
11:59 And when you're so close to the fight there, it's not a good sign.
12:03 Not a good sign.
12:04 Have you ever been in that position, Nathan?
12:06 Yeah, I have actually.
12:07 Yeah, when I boxed behind closed doors in this exact arena against Ryan Oliver.
12:11 Obviously, I fight with a massive crowd that can spur you on
12:14 and you feel like you've got endless energy.
12:16 But he'd be so quiet there.
12:17 I went out the first round trying to blast him out.
12:20 He went nowhere.
12:21 Round five, I remember thinking, "Oh, my goodness, I've still got another five rounds left."
12:25 And I was really feeling the pace.
12:27 Well, Seghetti may be feeling the pace too.
12:29 Very slow off his stool.
12:31 Karol Itama was straight up.
12:33 And gets through with a backhand there.
12:38 Jab to the body.
12:45 That's not going to help with his--
12:48 I mean, it will help fatigue, certainly, Seghetti.
12:51 These sneaky little jabs to the body.
12:54 You can't get anything going.
12:56 But it's making him think the whole time.
12:58 But he could jab up if he wants to.
13:00 Karol could jab up instead of just down jabbing his body.
13:02 Mix up. Head, body.
13:04 Jab the head, jab the body.
13:05 Jab the body, jab the head.
13:06 And he got snuck in a little right hand there.
13:08 Just don't get too close.
13:10 Well, that's where Seghetti wants it, isn't it?
13:12 Yeah, and it ruins Karol's work.
13:16 Lovely jab. Lovely jab.
13:18 Get jab down.
13:22 Another jab. That jab is working every time.
13:25 He's got a--
13:27 A wand of a jab.
13:29 Well, he says he's maturing.
13:42 He says he's getting better.
13:44 Mix up with every fight.
13:46 It's working.
13:48 But then keep the range.
13:51 The work to the body there as well.
14:03 Lovely right hand.
14:04 And that did actually get through, that one, as well.
14:07 Seghetti, once again, just kind of tying up.
14:13 As referee Lee Every brings them apart.
14:16 This will be another exhausting round
14:21 for Eros Seghetti, pinned in the corner currently from Karol Italma.
14:25 Seghetti pushing the head down.
14:27 But like how just to break it down at range, though.
14:32 He doesn't need to get too close.
14:34 Just under a minute left here in the fourth round.
14:38 That's it, squeeze. Get a little bit closer.
14:40 Stab him down. Stab him down.
14:41 Do it full flat. Good, good. Good shot.
14:43 Trying to sort of goad him in there.
14:46 But he did that for a reason.
14:48 He's trying to play mind games.
14:49 "Oh, I'm okay, I'm okay."
14:50 But really, he's really feeling it.
14:52 When you play mind games like that, you know,
14:55 they are feeling it, doing it for a reason.
14:58 Four rounds in.
14:59 Yeah, four rounds in, yeah.
15:09 Patiently kind of stalking him.
15:11 Seghetti's still got some life in him here.
15:14 But as you say, these kind of goading methods,
15:18 perhaps indicative of his strength bar going down.
15:25 He's outclassing him. That was outclassing him.
15:27 Yeah, 100%.
15:28 Another good round.
15:31 It's a good round.
15:32 It feels like a mature performance from Karol Italma so far.
15:36 Yeah, so far, really, really good.
15:38 Like, look at the face of Karol Italma.
15:41 He's got plenty left in him.
15:45 He's barely breathing.
15:47 He's really feeling it.
15:49 That's why I want Koud to keep doing what he's doing now.
15:56 It's just that little jab to the body.
15:58 Although he's not really hurting that much,
16:00 he's still got to breathe.
16:01 Breathe every single time.
16:03 And that takes a little bit away from the opponents.
16:07 But hopefully, he should open up a gap for him
16:09 to let that left or right foot land when he's going to throw it.
16:13 Those last two fights went the distance.
16:15 Italma, but fantastic learning rounds for Karol.
16:21 And tonight has been a very, very mature performance through four rounds.
16:26 We head into the fifth.
16:29 Eros Seghetti.
16:32 His unbeaten record in genuine jeopardy here.
16:36 He's lost everyone so far.
16:39 That's it, bust him with the jab.
16:43 And then bring the backhand hook in.
17:01 Stokens up to the body there.
17:03 Nathan Healy bellows his instructions,
17:09 which do seem to work every time.
17:11 You want him working more to the body, Nathan?
17:14 Yeah, with the jab, just so we can set up the left hook to the head
17:19 or the right hook to the head, whichever one.
17:30 He's moving about awkwardly at the moment, Seghetti.
17:33 He's squeezing well.
17:43 In terms of he's just moving his feet and slightly, Karol Tomlinson.
17:47 Kind of strange moment there.
17:50 We've just seen Seghetti kind of shout and throw out his gum shield
17:58 at the same time.
18:00 It's now back in. Action resumes here.
18:02 And action resumes with a cracking jab right to the face of Seghetti
18:07 from Karol Italma.
18:08 That jab was barely missed all night.
18:10 Once again, pinning Seghetti in the corner.
18:13 You just feel if he gives himself that little bit of distance,
18:16 if he finds that distance, you feel like he could open up
18:20 and start having even more success, Italma.
18:22 Absolutely. I think he just needs to squeeze in a little bit more.
18:25 Just a little bit closer.
18:27 But really should be making the most of it.
18:29 See, when it's here, there's an escape route for Seghetti.
18:32 Oh, wonderful. Left hand lands there.
18:33 There's an escape route for him.
18:34 But when Seghetti's on the ropes, that's where he should--
18:36 there's nowhere to go.
18:37 So he should just be squeezing, jab to the body, jab to the head.
18:40 Well, he's just turned the pace up here now, Italma.
18:43 He's just started moving Seghetti about.
18:46 His legs are going all over the shop.
18:47 Keep squeezing.
18:49 He taunts Italma, Seghetti.
18:52 Good.
18:53 But the right hand gets through very clean.
18:56 [CROWD NOISE]
18:58 It was that big left hand that got him going.
19:08 He should be maneuvering towards the ropes.
19:10 And when there's no escape--
19:11 Oh, another huge left hand.
19:13 No escape route for Seghetti.
19:14 --to keep it in range.
19:15 There's no escape route.
19:18 He can completely control the range.
19:22 [CROWD NOISE]
19:24 We're approaching the end of the fifth round here.
19:28 [CROWD NOISE]
19:31 Good roll in there by Carroll.
19:37 Rolled straight to the right.
19:38 It looks like also that the right eye of Seghetti may well be closing up a little bit there.
19:46 Something to keep an eye on for what's left in the fight.
19:50 But that was a big, big round for Carroll Italma.
19:53 A couple of times he really rocked Seghetti back.
19:57 Yeah, he got some good shots.
19:59 Tick of the back hand.
20:00 I think it was a straight left hand that he threw.
20:03 And they're keeping an eye on that.
20:05 It's the left eye, in fact, that they're keeping a very close eye on there.
20:08 In the end, swell on it.
20:10 I like that. Fun. Close eye.
20:13 Carroll Italma in his corner, still not breathing.
20:19 Seghetti very much breathing.
20:21 That wasn't his best round in the fight yet, though.
20:28 I think he took his foot off the gas a little bit.
20:30 Carroll, he did get some good clean shots, though.
20:32 Yeah, he rocked his head back a couple of times.
20:35 I think he can go through the gears now.
20:37 Carroll looks good. He looks fresh.
20:39 [BELL RINGS]
20:41 Yeah, I mean, that was a moment of wonderful, wonderful jab.
20:44 Great, great jab.
20:45 Another great jab.
20:47 Then bring it down to the body as well.
20:49 It's such a great way to start the round.
20:51 Italma just coming out and straight away.
20:53 Great backhand.
20:54 Getting that jab out there.
20:56 Lovely.
20:57 He's going through the gears now.
20:59 Yeah, you can see it switching.
21:01 There were moments in the last round where he did just switch through it a little bit.
21:05 I think at this stage...
21:13 He could bring the straight left straight down the pipe as well.
21:16 Obviously, he's bringing the right jab to the body,
21:19 and then the left to the head.
21:21 But he could bring the jab to the head,
21:23 and then spear to the body with the backhand.
21:25 Lovely roll on there.
21:27 I think Italma's very comfortable with what he's got in front of him now,
21:32 so he can move through the gears here.
21:35 A great jab again.
21:36 Great jab.
21:39 That's what he needs, just like that.
21:41 Everything builds up.
21:43 Straight to the body, that's it. That's the one.
21:46 Good jab.
21:47 The jab has been so much better this round.
21:50 Good backhand.
21:51 He's breaking him.
21:52 He's going through the gears.
21:53 Then he wants to get straight back on the range now.
21:59 Keep the range again.
22:00 Don't let him spoil it.
22:01 A little warning there from the referee.
22:05 Seghetti not his first tonight.
22:07 That's it.
22:12 Down and then up.
22:14 The variety on that jab.
22:15 That's that amateur pedigree.
22:17 Great jab.
22:18 Great jab again.
22:19 Like I said,
22:21 his last round wasn't his best round.
22:22 This one is by far his best round of the five.
22:24 By far.
22:25 He's setting everything up as well.
22:26 And it's jabs to the body, it's jabs to the head.
22:28 Great jab again.
22:30 The jab this round has just been so much different.
22:32 And it must be demoralising if you are Seghetti in there.
22:37 He can't seem to get out of the way of it.
22:40 Backhand, great backhand.
22:41 But this is what's going to break Seghetti.
22:48 And it is beginning to break Seghetti.
22:50 This is what's going to break him.
22:51 Backed up into the corner there.
22:52 Just constant prodding and hitting.
22:54 Lovely backhand to the body.
22:56 That's the one I wanted to see him doing.
22:58 And that eye doesn't look in great shape either from Seghetti.
23:01 That left eye.
23:02 Excellent so far.
23:06 35 seconds left and he's done perfect.
23:10 Yeah, he just has a little look at his corner as well, Seghetti.
23:13 His corner calling out instructions to him.
23:16 I'm not sure any of these instructions are giving him much luck here tonight.
23:20 He can't get out of the way of the jab.
23:23 And right now he can't get out of the way of a brilliant performance so far from Karol Italma.
23:28 Mature, picking his shots wisely, listening to Nathan Heaney ringside.
23:32 Good short route to there.
23:39 The best thing about this round though is the use of his jab.
23:42 He kept the range the whole time.
23:44 But he must have hit him in about 20 jabs there.
23:46 Could have missed.
23:47 But it's those jabs that can allow him to set up the other shots.
23:50 He got the backhand in there as well.
23:52 Some little short rides you get right to the end of the round.
23:55 That was by far his best round in the fight so far.
23:57 Yeah, and the Seghetti corner are giving more and more attention to that left eye.
24:02 Just sustaining more and more damage.
24:04 Two rounds left here.
24:05 We're about to enter round number seven.
24:07 We are scheduled for eight.
24:09 And this, for me, is the best that Karol Italma has looked since his return after sustaining that defeat last year.
24:19 I think he's definitely got into the fight now.
24:21 Obviously we're in round seven now.
24:23 But before, I think he's...
24:26 Although his range is good, it wasn't his best level yet.
24:30 But that last round, excellent.
24:32 [BELL RINGS]
24:34 [ANNOUNCER]
24:38 Well, seventh round, scheduled for eight here at the Copper Box Arena.
24:45 The return of Olympic youth gold medalist Karol Italma.
24:49 He's won every round so far.
24:51 I want to see the exact same that he did in the last round.
24:53 And that's the return breaking.
24:55 Well, that's exactly what you're getting, Nathan.
24:57 Two, three jabs, four jabs.
25:00 Backhand to the body.
25:02 But even if he doesn't get him out of there...
25:13 Oh, but he may well get him out of there.
25:15 The curse of the commentator.
25:17 I don't know if that was a stumble or a shot landed, but his legs didn't seem completely under him for a moment there.
25:24 But let's not forget, he's against an undefeated fighter.
25:27 Well, Segeti almost laid out Lee Avery here.
25:30 I think he'll have more success against Avery than he would against Italma.
25:35 Italma's doing as he pleases so far tonight through seven rounds.
25:39 But he's starting to look more and more ragged now, this Segeti.
25:51 Italma picking his punches very well.
25:54 That jab has been the key all night.
25:57 Well, it's from round five onwards where he's really using it effectively.
26:00 But again, going back to his opponent, Segeti, he's an undefeated fighter.
26:09 He's never lost before.
26:11 And Carroll doesn't have to stop him to get to show an impressive performance.
26:16 It's about beating a lad. He'll be the first person that's beat him.
26:18 He's done it comfortably as well.
26:20 He absolutely has.
26:21 Because he is an awkward opponent. He's awkward.
26:22 The way he's moving, he's very, very tough as well.
26:25 You can tell he's tough. He's got that ruggedness about him.
26:29 He is kind of protecting that eye now.
26:34 That's the perfect range.
26:37 He kept the range perfect there but then waited a little bit too long now.
26:40 But he moved back and kept the range perfect.
26:42 He's got a lot of eyes.
26:43 Sneaky right hand from Italma there.
27:02 Again, Segeti ties him up.
27:06 But again, Carroll looks very comfortable.
27:08 His face is nice and relaxed.
27:10 Very comfortable.
27:11 He doesn't even look like he's breathing.
27:15 It feels like he could do this for another 10 rounds.
27:17 Hopefully in this last round he'll go through the gears.
27:20 In this last round that's coming up.
27:22 Excellent move. Excellent.
27:25 Excellent move.
27:27 Excellent move.
27:28 He's got a lot of eyes.
27:30 He's got a lot of eyes.
27:31 He's got a lot of eyes.
27:32 He's got a lot of eyes.
27:33 He's got a lot of eyes.
27:35 He's making Segeti miss.
27:37 He's been making him miss all night.
27:40 Nice jab.
27:45 Jab to the body.
27:48 Good shot. Excellent shot.
27:51 That one certainly got through.
27:53 Segeti is out to grit his way all the way through this.
28:01 Well, he's only got to do it for one more round.
28:03 It feels like he probably will see out this fight.
28:06 But he certainly looks like he's been in a fight.
28:09 Carroll Itauma doesn't particularly look marked up or blemished at all.
28:15 It's been an excellent 7 rounds so far.
28:17 Now, will he go through it?
28:19 The gears, just one last round.
28:21 Will he really go for it?
28:22 I think he certainly could.
28:26 Like I say, he looks very relaxed.
28:28 He looks very relaxed.
28:30 He doesn't look like he's struggling.
28:32 He's with his trainer, Dan Woolidge, there in the corner.
28:36 Dan Woolidge, of course, is his amateur trainer as well.
28:40 St Mary's in Chatham.
28:42 Same sort of area as Charlie Hickford that we saw earlier on.
28:47 Referee just bringing them together to touch gloves.
28:55 Final round here.
28:57 Eighth and final round.
28:59 Light heavyweight contest.
29:00 Carroll Itauma, Eros Sageti.
29:02 Sageti is unbeaten.
29:04 But looks on the cusp of losing his unbeaten record against Itauma.
29:09 Though he did get through with one there.
29:11 He's still got to be switched on there because if you're in Sageti's corner,
29:14 you say, "Listen, you've got to throw it now. You've got to let it go."
29:17 You've lost the first 7 rounds. You've got to knock him out.
29:21 So Carroll's got to be very careful.
29:23 This is a proud man, Nathan.
29:24 You can tell that from the way he's still in there.
29:26 He doesn't want to lose his unbeaten record.
29:29 And he is swinging away.
29:31 And he's making a fist of it in the final round here.
29:34 This way, Sageti's going to make it messy.
29:45 Ideally, Carroll can step up, ba-bang, there you go.
29:48 And catch him on the way in because he's opening up now.
29:51 He is opening up.
29:52 And Carroll Itauma just has to get out of this little situation he's found himself in.
29:58 He's found himself a bit of a second wind, has Sageti, in the final round of this fight.
30:04 And he is a proud Italian man who does not want to lose his unbeaten record here tonight in London.
30:11 His first fight outside of Italy.
30:13 He doesn't want to go home with an L.
30:15 Well, no, but now 1 minute 30 into the round.
30:18 Carroll should be sticking it right.
30:20 That lance works really hard on that first minute and a half.
30:23 Really hard.
30:24 He should be making the most of this now.
30:25 Go on, let it go.
30:26 He should be punishing him now.
30:30 That guy's given everything in that first half of the round.
30:34 Yeah, he did.
30:35 Oh, lovely check out there.
30:44 And a jab as well to follow.
30:48 Just over a minute left here in the final round.
30:51 Carroll Itauma, Eros Sageti.
30:53 I think you're right.
30:58 I think Sageti may well be spent from...
31:00 He puts himself out.
31:01 He's been putting himself out.
31:02 He went for it completely.
31:04 And credit 2 and 4 going for it.
31:09 Showing a lot of heart, a lot of pride.
31:12 Around 40 seconds left in this round.
31:15 He is spent. You can see him physically really...
31:18 A big inhale of breath there.
31:21 And Itauma may well find a shot here.
31:24 30 seconds to go.
31:25 That's it, go through, go through.
31:26 Because Sageti has got nothing left here in the final round.
31:32 And Itauma's got him in the corner.
31:35 Around 20 seconds left.
31:36 Sageti just able to...
31:39 Take the sting out of that situation.
31:42 Push Itauma's head down.
31:45 Around 10 seconds left.
31:47 Sageti will see this one out.
31:51 But overall...
31:53 He just looks for a final shot towards the end of the round there.
31:59 Pretty strongly.
32:00 Carroll's pretty strongly.
32:01 All eight rounds there.
32:02 Excellent performance.
32:03 Excellent performance from Carroll Itauma.
32:13 This will be win number 12 for him.
32:15 I mean, for you Nathan, did he win every round there tonight?
32:18 The only success Sageti had was literally that first minute and a half of the round.
32:24 He put a lot into it, but he wasn't catching anything.
32:26 He was just making it messy.
32:28 But then Carroll's got the space.
32:30 Let the shots go.
32:31 And then finished on strong.
32:32 And again, yeah, I think he won every single round.
32:34 We're having a look at Sageti's eye there in the corner.
32:38 Just having a chat with the doctor.
32:42 And a good night's work for Carroll Itauma.
32:45 He's there with his trainer Dan Woolwich.
32:49 Again, you can see he's got in the corner, Sageti.
32:51 Yeah, he's lost some beat record.
32:53 But he gave it a good go.
32:55 He's a proud man.
32:58 Carroll Itauma really showed his class tonight.
33:04 We're going to now head over for the final word from our MC, Thomas Treiber.
33:11 [BELL RINGING]
33:12 Ladies and gentlemen, after eight rounds of boxing,
33:16 our referee in charge, Lee Every, scores in this contest 79 to 73
33:24 for your winner, Carroll Itauma!
33:31 Another win for Carroll Itauma.
33:36 This is a man now beginning to build some momentum.
33:40 Terrific start to 2024.
33:42 And I'm sure Frank Warren, Francis Warren, will have this man driven towards titles.
33:49 It feels like it.
