For McKean, it will be the first time he enters the ring in more than a year following a first career loss in August 2023 against Filip Hrgović, leaving him with a 22-1 record.
But despite Itauma's relentless rise through the ranks, he feels he can give a better account of himself this time around, especially after shaking off injury earlier in 2024.
"I had a bit of a hand injury at the start of the year that set me back after the Hrgovic fight, so I was on the sidelines for a few months nursing that," he told DAZN.
"We’ve been in interim training camps all year. We’ve been stuffed around with fights. We were promised fights that were pushed back, but we’re here now.
"I know that I can do a lot better. Rewatching that fight back, it hurts a little bit. I know I can give so much more.
"I feel like I’m coming in the best condition possible. It’s been a great training camp. My body feels great, I’ve been sparring really well and I’m hitting all my strides."
