Get ready for an electrifying night of boxing as British sensation Moses Itauma takes on American powerhouse Jermaine Franklin in Manchester! The two titans will clash at the Co-op Live as part of the headlining Magnificent 7 card event on Saturday, 28th March. This showdown marks the much-anticipated comeback of Itauma, who is back in action after a bicep injury delayed their earlier scheduled bout.
At just 21, Itauma boasts an unblemished record of 13-0, with 11 of those victories via knockout. His recent performance against Dillian Whyte, where he secured a knockout in under two minutes, has solidified his reputation as one to watch. Promoter Frank Warren praises him as one of the most promising talents he’s seen in decades!
But Franklin, aged 32, isn’t going down without a fight. With a 24-2 record, including a nail-biting match against Anthony Joshua, he’s proven his skills in the ring. Having won his last three bouts, Franklin is ready to give Itauma a run for his money.
You can catch all the action live from 5pm, with the fighters expected to make their entrances around 11pm. For those who enjoy their boxing from the comfort of home, the match will be streamed live on DAZN. Subscriptions start at just £15.99 per month, offering an extensive lineup of fights throughout the year.
Alternatively, tune in for live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds. With DAZN holding exclusive TV rights, the fight won’t be available on Sky Sports or TNT Sports.
Who’s your money on? Will Itauma continue his winning streak, or will Franklin topple the young champion? Don’t miss it!
