Joshua turned Fury\u2019s recommendation back on him.<\/p>\n \u201cIs he fighting Itauma? He was saying to me when I was looking for an opponent \u2026 fight Itauma. So I think that would be a perfect name,\u201d said Johua to talkSPORT Boxing<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re all under the same promotion. So if Fury is what he says he is, maybe he should step forward. And Frank [Warren] should put his fighter forward instead of worrying about what I\u2019m up to.\u201d<\/p>\n Joshua made the comments while discussing Fury\u2019s search for an opponent. The former heavyweight champion has long been linked to a showdown with Fury, with both men expected to meet later this year if they win their respective return fights.<\/p>\n Itauma (13-0, 11 KOs) has quickly emerged as one of the most talked-about young heavyweights in boxing. The 21-year-old stopped Dillian Whyte in the first round before following up with a fifth-round stoppage of Jermaine Franklin in his most recent appearance.<\/p>\n Frank Warren has indicated that Itauma is expected to return on August 8, with Filip Hrgovic among the names reportedly being considered as a potential opponent.<\/p>\n Whether Fury has any interest in facing Itauma remains unclear. However, Joshua\u2019s response made one thing clear: if Fury believes Itauma is the right test for other heavyweights, Joshua thinks he should be willing to take that challenge himself.<\/p>\n Olly Campbell is a boxing journalist who has covered the sport since 2014, providing ringside reporting and technical analysis of major bouts.
