Well, well, well. What a performance from Moses Itauma to
cement his reputation as the heavyweight king in waiting. But is everyone – and
we mean everyone – getting too excited on the strength of a victory over
Jermaine Franklin, a fighter who had previously lost his biggest fights? Or is
the expectancy surrounding Itauma, arguably the most hyped heavyweight in
history, truly justified?

As well as plotting an ideal route to the top for Moses, we
briefly examine Dave Allen being chucked in with Filip Hrgovic and reflect on
Sebastian Fundora’s pummelling of veteran Keith Thurman.

In This Week, it’s back to 1981, where Marvin Hagler oozes
style at ringside as Sugar Ray Leonard shows his spiteful side while
overpowering Larry Bonds.
