Moses Itauma will take on his toughest fight so far when he meets Jermaine Franklin.
Britain’s Itauma is still just 21-years-old but is building his reputation as the most feared young heavyweight in the world.
He has stopped 11 of his 13 opponents and, most recently, needed just one round to stop Dillian Whyte in August last year.
But American contender Franklin presents a robust test. He has lost just twice in 24 fights, both times on points to Anthony Joshua and Whyte.
Itauma has the opportunity to improve upon Joshua’s result by stopping Franklin and send a message to the world’s top heavyweights.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fight.
