Moses Itauma vs. Jermaine Franklin undercard: Which names are on the Magnificent Seven bill?

The 21-year-old has made serious waves in boxing’s glamour division already and now faces what looks his toughest test yet against the dangerous American in Manchester, exclusively on DAZN.

The fight was originally set for January but it was postponed due to Itauma suffering a late injury. This just adds more intrigue to a fight and the durable Franklin is expected to give Itauma some much-needed rounds.

This heavyweight fight headlines a stacked fight card which features the all-British light heavyweight grudge match between Willy Hutchinson and Ezra Taylor, and fan favourite Nathan Heaney.

Who's who on the Itauma vs. Franklin undercard? 

Queensberry have stacked this latest Magnificent 7 card with some top quality contests.

Nathan Heaney vs. Gerome Warburton

Heaney's career is on the line when he takes on the Warburton and nothing less than a victory will do for the Stoke man.

Heaney suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of Brad Pauls and Sofiane Khati, although the latter result was subsequently changed to a no contest and the 'Hitman' bounced back with an eight-round decision victory over Grant Dennis last summer.

Following a stoppage loss to Kieron Conway, Warburton also got back on the winning trail when outpointing Jordan Grannum last time out and this is a must-win fight for both men.

Heaney will have plenty of backing from his famous army of fans and the former British champion could get another shot at the big time with a victory here.

Ezra Taylor vs. Willy Hutchinson

There has been plenty of bad blood in the run up to this light-hearvyweight contest and it has the potential to steal the show.

The pair engaged in some serious verbal sparring when they met in front of the TV cameras at a show in October and the bad blood continued in a heated DAZN: Face Off.

Taylor is uneabeten in 13 outings and is takjing a step up in class against Hutchinson, who bounced back from his defeat to Joshua Buatsi with a seventh-round stoppage of Mark Jeffers in October.

The fireworks could fly from the off in this one and it isn't a fight you want to miss.
