Young British heavyweight Moses Itauma faces Jermaine Franklin in Manchester this weekend
Moses Itauma hopes to take his next step towards a world heavyweight title this weekend, as he fights Jermaine Franklin in Manchester.
Itauma is seen as one of Britain’s top prospects in boxing , with the 21-year-old having already built a 13-0 professional record including 11 knockouts.
Franklin (24-2, 15 KOs) actually has his own history with Whyte, having lost a controversial decision to the Briton in 2022 before losing to Anthony Joshua on points in 2023.
Yet those defeats are the only losses of the 32-year-old’s career, and he is seen as a sensible test for Itauma , whose injury in January forced this bout to be pushed back by two months.
Itauma vs Franklin will take place on Saturday 28 March at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester.
The main card is due to begin at 5pm BST (10am PT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET), with main-event ring walks expected at 11pm BST (4pm PT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET).
The event will stream live exclusively on DAZN worldwide.
