Moses Itauma returns to face veteran Jermaine Franklin!
Moses Itauma makes his in-ring debut for 2026 today in England, facing American heavyweight veteran Jermaine Franklin in the main event.
The top heavyweight prospect Itauma (13-0, 11 KO) will be fighting for the first time since last August, when he laid waste to former title challenger Dillian Whyte in two minutes. Franklin (24-2, 15 KO) has been plenty durable in his career, having never been knocked out, including distance fights in defeat against Whyte and Anthony Joshua. He’s coming off of a good win over Ivan Dychko in September of last year.
