BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds will broadcast three major heavyweight boxing bouts in the coming months. The lineup includes Moses Itauma vs Jermaine Franklin this Saturday in Manchester, Deontay Wilder vs Derek Chisora on April 4th in London, and Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois on May 9th, also in Manchester.

Itauma's fight kicks off the heavyweight streak as the rising star defends his unbeaten record against American veteran Franklin. The 22-year-old has electrified the heavyweight division with his professional career start, while Franklin brings experience with just two losses to Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua. The American enters off a significant upset win over Ivan Dychko in September.

Wilder and Chisora will clash at the O2 Arena in what marks both fighters' 50th bout. Despite previous retirement promises, Chisora insists he'll hang up his gloves regardless of the outcome. The triple-header showcases boxing's future and present, with Wardley defending his WBO heavyweight world title against Dubois in an all-British world title fight at Manchester's Co-op Live arena.
