Promoters Queensberry have pushed back the Moses Itauma versus Jermaine Franklin showdown to March 28. The British heavyweight prospect injured himself during training, forcing a postponement from the original January 24 date at Manchester's Co-Op Live Arena. Itauma, 21, remains undefeated in 13 fights and recently knocked out veteran Dillian Whyte in August.

This delay disrupts momentum for the rising star, who had already seen a December bout scrapped. Franklin, a seasoned American with losses only to Anthony Joshua and Whyte, presents a credible test for Itauma's status as a top contender. The card still features a compelling co-main event between Willy Hutchinson and Ezra Taylor.

Fans must now wait until late March to see if Itauma can continue his knockout streak. With 11 stoppages in 13 wins, the youngster is viewed as a future title challenger. The rescheduled date gives him time to heal, but it also keeps a high-stakes matchup on ice for British boxing.
