The man widely regarded as the next dominant heavyweight,
Moses Itauma, continues his education against Jermaine Franklin this weekend.
But what to expect from Franklin? Nobody expects him to win but some are predicting
he’ll be the first to provide the youngster with a semblance of a test.

Over in America, Keith Thurman looks to roll back the years
against Sebastian Fundora. Will the ‘Towering Inferno’ prove a leap too far?

Closer to home, Michael Conlan announced his retirement,
George Liddard came through a difficult assignment, the death of Ricky Hatton
is explored and in Australia, Jai Opetaia again wakes up as an ex-champion
without having lost a fight.

In This Week, we point the time machine to 2000 and Diego
Corrales duelling with Derrick Gainer as he readies for Floyd Mayweather.

What’s that beautiful noise you hear? It’s The Opening Bell,
folks.
