Moses Itauma's sharp rise has created havoc in the heavyweight division with a trail of fallen opponents left in his wake.
The British fighter, 21, was even named ESPN's No. 1 boxer under the age of 25 in our most recent ranking. ESPN rank him at No. 5 in the heavyweight division.
Here's all the key questions about Moses Itauma answered.
Moses Itauma next fight
Itauma will fight Filip Hrgovic on Saturday Aug. 29 at The O2 in London.
The vacant IBF heavyweight championship is at stake meaning the winner will go home as a world champion. Itauma could become the second-youngest heavyweight champion ever behind Mike Tyson.
Oleksandr Usyk, formerly the undisputed heavyweight champion, vacated all of his belts. Daniel Dubois picked up the WBO version, Murat Gassiev has the WBA, and the IBF will go the winner of Itauma vs. Hrgovic.
Croatia's Hrgovic won an Olympic bronze medal in 2016 and has built a 20-1 professional record. His only loss came due to cuts against Dubois. He most recently battered Dave Allen. Hrgovic stands 6'6'' with an 82 inch reach.
A string of devastating knock-outs have earned comparisons to American great Tyson, but Teddy Atlas, the old trainer of 'Iron Mike', believes Itauma is even better at this age than his old fighter.
"Teddy Atlas said that yeah? To be honest I am pretty sure Teddy Atlas put a gun to Mike Tyson's head before no? I just think he doesn't like Mike Tyson and is finding a way to dim his light," Itauma smiled.
"Look, I don't know, Teddy Atlas saying that, I do appreciate it.
"Tyson has had his career and I am still making my career. Of course I set out the goal to become the youngest heavyweight world champion. I didn't achieve it but I landed the Dillian Whyte fight so it is step by step. What do they say? You shoot for the stars and land on the moon."
Itauma first dreamed of becoming world heavyweight champion aged 16 or 17 but is under no illusions about the type of test Hrgovic will provide.
He said: "Of course he's a very good fighter. He's only had one defeat and he only lost because of the cut. Yeah, he's solid. I'm in for a long night but I'll be all right.
"I took the necessary steps to get to this position. If I had fought Mariusz Wach into Filip Hrgovic, I might have found out or learned a couple of things where I might have not been ready for where as right now I feel I am in a good space."
