Moses Itauma intends to make a statement against Jermaine Franklin | 'I want to prove I can do what I think I can'

Moses Itauma’s reputation precedes him. He’s only 21 years old and just 13 fights into his professional career but widely tipped as a future heavyweight champion.

In fact a potential heavyweight champion in the not-too-distant future.

Already he's highly ranked with the WBO and WBA and on Saturday he goes in with American contender Jermaine Franklin.

Franklin has gone the distance with both Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte and will be a key gauge of whether Itauma is ready for a world title shot next.

Itauma is determined to demonstrate he can live up to all the expectations placed on him.
