Moses Itauma, 9-0 (7 KOs), has developed a nonchalant, matter of fact manner. Whenever Itauma talks about his boxing career, every word is laced with an air of inevitability.

WE LAST WEEK convened to formally reveal the latest of our highly-acclaimed ‘Magnificent Seven’ cards, which will take place at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham – formerly known as the NEC – on Saturday March 16.

By his own admission, Moses Itauma doesn’t have any idols or people who he looks up to as inspiration. But even he couldn’t help but feel a little starstruck when he was first introduced to Mike Tyson.

English heavyweight champion Solomon Dacres will make his latest appearance on Queensberry’s ‘Magnificent Seven Ride Again’ card on March 16th and show promoter Frank Warren is hoping to match him with David Adeleye.

British middleweight champion Nathan Heaney (18-0, 6 KOs), fresh from his stunning victory over Denzel Bentley to claim the title in November, will make his first defense of his Lonsdale belt, against the English champion Brad Pauls (18-1, 10).

After the success of their stacked ‘Magnificent Seven’ show last November, Queensberry look set to continue with the winning formula by promoting another multi-title card in Birmingham on March 16th.

Solomon Dacres still has a major part to play in the future of a flourishing British heavyweight division but the unbeaten English champion made heavy work of Saturday night’s title defense against Michael Webster.

Harry Scarff finally found a way over the hump on the domestic level. The scrappy welterweight outmuscled previously unbeaten Ekow Essuman to earn a twelve-round, unanimous decision in their multi-belt domestic title fight. Scores were 117-112, 116-113 and 115-113 for Scarff in their TNT Sports/ESPN+ televised battle Saturday at AO Arena in Manchester, England.

Nick Ball and Isaac Dogboe are all set to meet at the crossroads. Both boxers easily made weight ahead of their WBC featherweight title eliminator. Liverpool’s Ball (18-0, 11KOs) was a slim and fit 125 pounds as he faces his first former titlist. Dogboe (24-3, 15KOs)—an Accra, Ghana native who lives in London—was 125.2 pounds in a bid to bounce back from a WBO featherweight title defeat to Robeisy Ramirez earlier this year.

Utilita Arena, Birmingham - Conah Walker (12-2-1, 4 KOs) pulled off a stunner by battering and stopping undefeated welterweight prospect Cyrus Pattinson (6-1, 4 KOs) in eight rounds.
