"I think that would be a perfect name because they're all under the same promotion."If Fury is what he says he is, maybe he should step forward and Frank should put his fighter forward instead of worrying about what I'm up to."Hot prospect Moses Itauma is next expected to fight a top ten-ranked opponent after defeating Jerome Franklin in dramatic fashion.Fury's next fight expected to be announced this weekIt hasn't yet been disclosed who Fury will face next before he locks horns with Joshua, but Frank Warren has said he expects the fight to be announced this week."We'll hopefully be in a position to announce it next week, that's what we're looking to do. So keep watching this space, and it'll be a good opponent - it'll be good for him.

He said. “I’m not a talker guy, I’m a puncher guy and I’m Albanian. If I catch you, you’ve never felt a punch like mine. I promise you."Joshua hit back expressing that's exactly what he wants from Prenga. "I want you to come into the ring and show me no respect.
