Jermaine Franklin is scheduled to take on highly touted heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma on March 28, and in anticipation of the fight DAZN takes viewers behind the scenes of Franklin’s camp to get some insight into his mindset heading into this fight and what Itauma brings to the table.
“He’s fast, he throws combinations, he’s kind of good at counterpunching and stuff like that,” Franklin said of Itauma. “He’s a little aggressive, so we’ve watched a lot of tape so I just can’t wait for it. Just
fight my fight, fight my style, get him frustrated, take away some of the things he does great and make him have to try new things to compete. If I see the opportunity I’m going for it, but I won’t rush it.
“He ain’t never been in deep waters so it’ll be a different territory for him. I done been in deep waters a couple times so I know how it is, how it feels, so I think deep waters benefits me more. Your body reacts different when you’re tired in the later rounds so I know how to get punches off in the later rounds, how to set certain stuff up in the later rounds.”
Franklin will enter the Itauma fight as a massive underdog, but he’ll get he chance to shock the world.
