Warren on Itauma and his upcoming fight with Franklin “I can honestly say at this stage of his career and the age he’s at, he’s the most impressive heavyweight I’ve ever been involved with.

And that’s at this stage, and on Saturday he’s in with a guy who’s very, very experienced…He’s never been stopped. So this is a big, big moment for him. This guy is very, very experienced, this is Moses’ 14th fight.

So I think it will tell a lot about him. ” On what Franklin will bring to the fight with Itauma “It’s a fight that we sort of made it for a reason, because we’re looking for someone who’s going to test [Itauma] and is durable. All big punchers, eventually they’ll fight someone who they won’t stop and they got to go to Plan B.

I believe Moses is a very, very good boxer and got a good boxing brain. And if he doesn’t do the business and stop him then we’re going to see the other side of him I hope. ” On who Itauma would fight next with a win “I can’t really say until this fight is over where we go, but in an ideal world I would like to see him fighting for a world title by the end of the year.
