How to watch Moses Itauma vs. Jermaine Franklin tonight: Start time, ringwalks, undercard, prediction, odds

Already tipped by many to be the future undisputed heavyweight champion of the the world, the 21-year-old knows he cannot afford any mistakes against the dangerous American when they meet in Manchester, exclusively on DAZN via subscription.

The pair were originally due to fight in January, but this was postponed due to Itauma suffering a late injury. This just adds more intrigue to a fight against the tough Franklin, who took Anthony Joshua all 12 rounds.

Moses Itauma vs. Jermaine Franklin form and history

One word comes to mind when Itauma steps into the ring, and that's knockout. 

The British star has amassed a nine-fight knockout streak, with his most impressive coming in August when he dispatched former world title challenger Dillian Whyte in the opening of their meeting in Riyadh. 

America's Franklin will also be confident when he arrives in Manchester. 

Since losing to Anthony Joshua three years ago, Franklin has won the three bouts that have followed, albeit his unanimous decision victory over Ivan Dychko in September was one which drew plenty of criticism.
