British heavyweight Moses Itauma will face American veteran Jermaine Franklin this Saturday, March 28, at Manchester's Co-op Live. The fight, originally scheduled for January, was postponed after Itauma suffered a bicep injury.
Itauma, 21, boasts an undefeated record of 13-0 with 11 knockouts. His last fight saw him knock out Dillian Whyte in the first round. Queensberry promoter Frank Warren called Itauma 'the best talent I've seen at such a young age.'
Franklin, 32, holds a record of 24-2 (15 KOs) and is known for going the distance with Anthony Joshua in 2023. Since then, he has won three consecutive fights.
The event will be streamed live on DAZN, with coverage starting at 5pm and ringwalks expected around 11pm. A DAZN subscription is required, starting at £15.99 per month. The fight is also included in the DAZN Ultimate package, which costs £24.99 per month and includes future PPV events like Chisora vs Wilder.
Alternatively, the fight will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds. It will not be shown on Sky Sports or TNT Sports.
