Bet9ja Signs Sponsorship Deal with Rising Heavyweight Star Moses Itauma

Nigerian sportsbook Bet9ja has entered into a new sponsorship agreement with fast-rising British heavyweight boxer Moses Itauma.

The 20-year-old, who proudly carries Nigerian heritage, has been unbeaten since turning professional in 2023, with 10 of his 12 victories coming by stoppage. The partnership arrives ahead of Itauma’s headline bout against former world title challenger Dillian Whyte in Saudi Arabia on 16 August.

As part of the deal, Bet9ja – powered by Logifuture – will see its branding feature on Itauma’s training and ringside team apparel. The young fighter will also appear in exclusive video and digital content across the operator’s social channels.

“I’m delighted to be working with Bet9ja as I prepare for the biggest fight of my career so far,” said Itauma. “My Nigerian heritage and family have always been a source of pride, and this partnership is a powerful connection to my roots. I look forward to bringing my championship belts back to my father’s homeland.”

Logifuture Head of Content and Social Media, Tom Beck, added: “Moses Itauma is one of the most exciting young talents in global boxing. Moses has spoken about the strength he draws from his Nigerian roots, and that makes him a natural fit for Bet9ja. For fans, he represents something special: a proud symbol of Nigerian toughness, talent and ambition on the global stage.

“Supporting his success means a lot to Logifuture and Bet9ja, and even more to our audience. We are looking forward to helping to share his journey with fans by providing exclusive access and behind-the-scenes content as he continues to build his reputation as one of the most explosive young fighters on the planet.”

This is not the first time the worlds of iGaming and boxing have collided – at the end of 2024, Games Global and Neon Valley Studios launched the Knockout Money Mayweather slot.
