We’ll begin our live updates from the undercard soon!

Franklin has his own history with Whyte, having lost a controversial decision to the veteran in 2022, and his only other defeat was a points loss to Anthony Joshua the following year. As such, the 32-year-old American is seen as a sensible test for Itauma, whose speed and movement belie his size – and are brutal when combined with his natural power.
