Itauma withdrew from a January 2026 heavyweight bout against Jermaine Franklin due to a biceps tear, with the event later postponed and rescheduled for March at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena. This injury halted his ring activity for several months and extended his layoff since August of the previous year. [Source: Boxing News Online, January 15, 2026][1]
