Itauma was born in Slovakia in the town of Kežmarok to a Nigerian father and Slovakian mother. He is the younger brother of light-heavyweight boxer Karol Itauma. He and his family experienced racism in Slovakia stating, "Me and my brothers got racially abused. It wasn't a good place to be. Finally, the family decided to move to England. Dude beat up some of the greatest Ukrainian boxers in history. Lawwwwd, LOL, the Slavic ppl didn't see it coming. All it took was to put some "color" on the Slavic lady and get the one who will eventually destroy all Eastern European Slavic boxers, unbelievable. LOL!!
