DAZN News rounds-up up boxing's biggest stories for Friday, March 27.
Moses Itauma says he wants to prove to his fans that he belongs at the top of the heavyweight division tomorrow.
The star faces Jermaine Franklin at Manchester's Co-op Live, live on DAZN, in his biggest professional test yet.
Speaking with Sky Sports News, the rising Briton stressed he is seeking a statement turn with this latest encounter.
"Not only do I want to prove it to the fans, I want to prove to myself that I can do what I think I can do," he stated.
Leo Atang has stated he will not force his own remarkable rise in order to emulate Itauma and his title dreams.
Another young British light generating plenty of heat for a bright future, the star is 5-0 with five knockouts so far.
Nineteen years old, Atang is on the young side too - but speaking to talkSPORT, he said he would not rush.
"I'd love to be world champion in 15 fights, but I'm not stupid because I know there's a lot more to it,” he said.
Jared Anderson is the eyecatching inclusion on the main undercard for Fabio Wardley versus Daniel Dubois.
The lone non-domestic fighter in the mix for Manchester this May arrives fresh off inking a Queensberry deal.
He will face Solomon Dacres in a heavyweight contest that will certainly help tee up the top bout in the mix.
Jack Rafferty, Ekow Essuman, Liam Cameron and Bradley Rea are among the other major names featured too.
