British heavyweight prospect Moses Ithauma gives his thoughts on his upcoming fight with American Jermaine Franklin. He noted that this match will be a great test for him against an opponent who can go the distance. " He went the whole distance? with Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua. So if he can handle AJ and White's best, then maybe he can handle mine.. Therefore, the opportunity to go the full distance? - perhaps this is something I can test myself in. And not only that - he just scored his best career win against Ivan Dychko. That’s why he will be on a roll,” Itauma said in a comment to BoxNation. The battle between Ithauma and Franklin will take place on January 24, 2026 at Co-op Live in Manchester. Let us remind you that Itauma’s next opponent has been named.
