Moses Itauma<\/a> became the first man to stop Jermaine Franklin<\/a>, as you can see how the fight played out live.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Itauma entered the ring on a nine-fight knockout streak, having spent less than 20 minutes of total ring time across his last nine bouts. His most recent statement\u2014a 119-second demolition of Dillian Whyte last August\u2014made him one of the most dangerous men in the division. However, Franklin was a fighter who had famously never tasted the canvas, having taken both Anthony Joshua and Whyte the full 12-round distance in high-stakes contests. This time around, he could not last the distance. Here is how the fight played out live.<\/p>\n
