David Haye wants Moses Itauma to avoid change as he trains in Floyd Mayweather gym

Wait 5 sec.

David Haye believes a switch away from trainer Ben Davsion for Moses Itauma would be premature.Itauma was tipped to reach the very top of the division by the age of 21 just as heavyweight legend Mike Tyson did.Itauma has faced some calls to ditch Davison after losing in his tough step up against HrgovicGettyBut he was stunned at the final hurdle, being stopped by Filip Hrgovic in his first attempt at becoming world champion.Naturally there was an inquest into the young prodigy’s demise in the fight, which included the finger being pointed in blame at trainer Ben Davison.Itauma trains at Mayweather gymDavison has guided Itauma during his rise through the professional ranks since 2024, and his corner advice was under examination.Many believe the recent defeats of Davison’s other heavyweights including Anthony Joshua and Fabio Wardley point to the fact a move for Itauma would be better.And in a potential hint it could be on the cards, Itauma was spotted back in training at Floyd Mayweather’s gym in America.He was working alongside young talent Zaquin Moses and pound-for-pound superstar Shakur Stevenson.It is unclear if the move is in any way permanent or if it signals at this stage that he has parted ways with Davison.Haye reacts to talkSPORT and gives adviceFormer two-weight champion Haye is in a perfect position to understand Itauma’s situation.He faced an early blow in his career losing to Carl Thompson, but bounced back to become a British boxing superstar and scoop up world titles.And Haye believes Itauma should stick with his current training set-up but instead take his own lessons from the loss.View Tweet: https://x.com/zaquin_moses?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwHe said on talkBOXING: “I had to accept the fact that doing it my way when I’m in there on my own, on the fly, isn’t good enough at world level.“Even that Carl Thompson was like 40 years old. He was way past his best so he was a shell of the man he once was but that shell was still enough to beat a young pup with no experience.“Now Itauma has got that experience. As long as he looks at it and understands. “The first five rounds he was amazing but even in those first five rounds, did he need to throw as many shots as he did to win the rounds comfortably?“When I lost to Carl Thompson, I didn’t think I need a new coach. That was the last thing. It was like, ‘coach said this, I did that. I got my a** kicked’.“It’s easy to throw the coach under the bus to get a good bit of PR. It’s palming it off on someone else.
