Nigeria’s leading sportsbook, Bet9ja, has announced a sponsorship agreement with undefeated heavyweight contender Moses Itauma, just days before the 20-year-old’s high-profile bout against former title challenger Dillian Whyte in Saudi Arabia.
The deal, backed by Bet9ja’s technology partner Logifuture, sees the company’s branding feature on Itauma’s training gear and his team’s ringside apparel. Itauma will also participate in a series of exclusive video features and digital campaigns across Bet9ja’s social media channels.
Itauma, a British fighter of Nigerian heritage, has emerged as one of the most promising talents in global boxing since turning professional in 2023. With 12 wins and 10 knockouts — many within the first two rounds — his aggressive style and unblemished record have drawn widespread attention. His August 16 bout with Whyte is being billed as the most significant challenge of his career so far.
Commenting on the occasion, Itauma said, “I’m delighted to be working with Bet9ja as I prepare for the biggest fight of my career so far. 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.”
Tom Beck, Logifuture Head of Content and Social Media, 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.”
Ayo Ojuroye, CEO of Bet9ja, continued, “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Moses Itauma to the Bet9ja family. Moses embodies the spirit of resilience, power, and relentless pursuit of greatness that we champion. His Nigerian roots and global ambition make him a perfect fit for Bet9ja’s vision of empowering champions and delivering world-class player experiences. Partnering with Logifuture, we continue to elevate the standards of engagement in Nigerian sports.”
The sponsorship aligns with Bet9ja’s ongoing strategy of linking major brand activations to high-profile sports events with strong Nigerian connections. Earlier this year, the operator renewed its support for Nigeria’s national football team with the “Let’s Do It Again” campaign ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Founded in 2009, Logifuture provides iGaming solutions, including virtual sports titles such as Simulate and Zoom Soccer, and partners with major operators worldwide to drive player engagement and revenue.
