The Headline Fight – Itauma v Franklin

Franklin, nicknamed the 989 Assassin, comes into the bout on a three-fight winning streak, with his only defeats coming via decision to Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua. With both fighters known for their power and durability, Itauma v Franklin tickets will be in high demand as this heavyweight showdown headlines one of the biggest cards of early 2026.
