Anthony Joshua pushes for heavyweight fight with Moses Itauma and seeks quick win over Kristian Prenga

Former two‑time world champion Anthony Joshua has publicly challenged Tyson Fury to face rising heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma when Fury returns in August. Speaking to talkSPORT, Joshua said, "If Fury is what he says he is, maybe he should step forward," and noted that both fighters are under the same promotion, making the bout logistically simple.

At the same time, Joshua is preparing for a July 25 bout against Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga. Analyst Sergio Mora has urged Joshua to finish Prenga inside two rounds, saying, "I want him to go out there and annihilate this man… he should be dispatched within six minutes," to build momentum for a potential blockbuster clash with Fury later in the year. Both comments frame the upcoming fights as tune‑up bouts ahead of what could become the biggest fight in British boxing history.
