British heavyweight Moses Itauma will put his unbeaten record on the line when he faces American Jermaine Franklin at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester on 24 January.
The bout will headline a Queensberry Promotions ‘Magnificent Seven’ event with Scotland’s light-heavyweight Willy Hutchinson taking on England’s Ezra Taylor in the co-main event.
Itauma, 20, is unbeaten in 13 fights while 32-year-old Franklin has 24 wins and two losses on his record.
Frank Warren says the fight night will celebrate his 45th year as a boxing promoter.
“In all my years in boxing, this might be the best stable of fighters we’ve ever had and on this card we have the cream of the crop,” Warren said.
“I am very happy to have our heavyweight prodigy Moses topping the bill in another perfect test of his unquestionable credentials against a very tough American in Jermain Franklin.”
