Itauma Vs Franklin delayed till March 28

21 year old professional athlete who has not fought in 5 months is "injured". Yep, not buying it sorry.

And postponed from 24/01 to to 28/03!!! So that is 2 months to get over this mystery injury.

Either the bottom has fallen out of him and its not the right fight for him, or the ticket sales shat the bed and they are putting it back to improve the ticket sales. Who knows? My guess is on the former not the later.

 

is itauma really injured or is it just a coincidence the video of him the other week on ill tv with Cassius where people were worried about itauma and commenting in the comments section that he seems as high as a kite is now now deleted

they deleted the video

 

Nah, he is just a young kid with bad habits. Weed or drinking most likely

Probably would have failed a drugs test so pushed it back

 

You think he would've fail the pre fight drug test an so the extra 2 months is for clearing it outta his system?

 

no of course not and im not stating anything just asking questions seems a funny coincidence is it not

video can be seen on this blokes channel he plays a bit of it. everyone on the comments were saying stuff and also said it should never of been uploaded

 

Yeah starting to be some issues with Itauma, he looks like he could have it all but maybe the key to it all (the mental) isn’t there?

 

Granted I could only bring myself to watch maybe a minute of the interview but he sounds like he normally does to me, he lacks charisma and energy, sounds a bit slow and dopey but nothing new if you've watched his previous interviews.

 

mmmm . options include ....

1. He really is injured. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt. But they've given no info on the injury so i'm suspicious
2. Cycling out weed/something else from his system
3. Tickets not selling (jan not a great month)
4. Mega fight with Usyk or Fury being negotiated in the background and just buying time

Edit : 5. As others have said Itauma may have been chinned in sparring.

Or a combination. Who knows.

but yeah the recent interview was really bad.

 

What a shock!

 

7 months out of the ring when you're 20? That's ridiculous.
