Franklin is very game and durable. If he gets past him, Okolie should be next.

I'd like to see Itauma vs Hrgovic. Hrgovic has lost a bit of his aura especially after Adeleye nearly got him out of there but he's still a well schooled fighter. Lets see how Itauma reacts when Hrgovic starts chopping them right hands down on his head.

As much as i like Gassiev, he has not been tested at Heavyweight. Now i know he is tough, and that he's looking for a good payday, but he should wait to see how itauma deals with Franklin before talking the talk.

He was tested by wallin and failed that test miserably, pulev was out boxing him as well.

If you stand flat footed in front of him he's dangerous but show him a bit of length and movement and the guy is as basic as they come.

Artur Abraham type fighter.

I feel like Hrgovic is made for Itauma. Easy to counter, up straight with his chin out, doesn’t have much head or lateral movement. Dubois was just spamming hooks on the lad. Okolie would be interesting if he could get past the first few rounds and frustrate him.

Lets see how Itauma deals with Franklin first. Franklin is better than washed up Whyte.

If Itauma can stop Franklin, than his next step should be somebody like Gassiev.

I like the comparison with Abraham. And i don't disagree; he can be outboxed, but will Itauma go that way if they meet?

I bet if anyone shows you a bit of length you become extremely predictable,you plunge for it mouth open.
