“It won’t be made straight away,” Warren told talkSPORT Boxing. “I would make that in a few fights’ time, providing they both come through. When it does take place, it has to go on in the summer in a football stadium. End of 2027, early 2028? Yeah, that’s the objective.” Warren Wants the Stadium Fight First The delay is based more on business than boxing. Itauma and Dubois are already close enough competitively for the fight to attract attention, especially if each owns a heavyweight belt.

The original matchmaking was risky from the beginning. The Cuban southpaw is 40, and Queensberry was relying on an aging fighter to complete camp and reach fight night. His withdrawal has left Junior with a substitute who will have only a few days to prepare. Perez still would have given Junior a specific technical test. His southpaw stance, experience and counterpunching would have forced the 23-year-old to manage distance, adjust to different angles and avoid becoming reckless when attacking. Musah presents a completely different style after Junior spent camp preparing for Perez. That may require a quick tactical adjustment, but…
