Moses Itauma Injury Means Jermaine Franklin Bout Rescheduled for March
The Magnificent 7 card at Co-op Live has been rescheduled to March 28 after Moses Itauma injured himself in training, postponing his fight with Jermaine Franklin.
- On Jan 13, 2026 Queensberry Promotions announced Moses Itauma sustained an injury in camp, postponing his January 24 bout with Jermaine Franklin to March 28 at Co-op Live, Manchester.
- The injury in training camp prompted Queensberry Promotions to postpone Moses Itauma's fight, with the exact nature of the injury undisclosed.
- Itauma, the unbeaten 21-year-old, holds a 13-0, 11 KO record and was set to gain rounds against Franklin, who has a 24-2, 15 KO record with three successive wins.
- The change moves the entire Magnificent 7 card to March 28, reshuffling the calendar at Co-op Live, Manchester; it affects WBA scheduling with Kubrat Pulev and Itauma, while Franklin loses immediate rounds.
- There has been clamour for a Usyk fight, but Usyk ruled it out last year, and Itauma's August stoppage of Dillian Whyte and rapid rise in recent months fuel high-profile interest.
