MOSES ITAUMA looks to take a step closer to a world title shot as he faces Jermaine Franklin THIS SATURDAY.
The rising heavyweight was due to return on January 24, but the fight has now been delayed after the Briton sustained an injury in training.

A statement from Queensbury read: “Moses Itauma has sustained an injury in camp for his fight with Jermaine Franklin on 24th January.
“Due to this, the whole Magnificent 7 show has been postponed and moved to the new date of 28 March at the Co-Op Live in Manchester.”
Itauma returns to the ring – two months later than planned – for the first time since demolishing Dillian Whyte back in August.
It took less than two minutes for the 21-year-old to brutally KO the Body Snatcher in one of his most impressive displays yet.
Itauma will be hoping 2026 is the year he can get a world title shot and a win over Anthony Joshua‘s former rival would move him one step closer to a potential clash with heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk.
Franklin suffered back-to-back defeats to AJ and Whyte in 2023 but has won his last three fights since then.
