As Moses Itauma continues to look for an opponent Joseph Parker has thrown his name into the hat.
Parker showed interest in facing Itauma immediately after his first round stoppage of Dillian Whyte and has once again confirmed he wants that fight.
Despite the New Zealander already having a fight scheduled for later this month he wants a quick turnaround to face the 20-year-old.
Parker spoke to Seconds Out on a possible clash with Itauma.
“I just want to be in this fighting game and fight anyone and everyone and do the best I can.
“We get this fight done with Fabio Wardley, I’m open to fighting anyone and everyone.”
Parker will return to the ring on October 25 at the O2 Arena against Wardley, who boasts an unblemished record with 19 wins and 18 of those coming by way of stoppage.
The 33-year-old was set to get his shot at Oleksandr Usyk after becoming the mandatory challenge for the Ukrainian’s WBO crown.
Usyk was granted an extension on negotiations after picking up an injury after his brutal stoppage of Daniel Dubois in July.
It was rumoured Itauma will return to the ring on December 13th in Manchester, headlining in the UK for the first time.
He was last in action on August 16th where he shone in Riyadh stopping the seasoned Dillian Whyte in just a round.
Itauma was also touted to face Kubrat Pulev for his WBA regular title until he recently announced a fight with Murat Gassiev in December.
Since this win so many names have shown interest in facing the 20-year-old from Fillip Hrgovic to David Adeleye yet a fight is still yet to be announced.
Parker spoke on Itauma’s career and performances so far, crediting the twenty-year-old’s impressive thirteen fight run so far.
“I don’t care who it is. He’s very talented Moses, very talented. Whoever has been put in front of him he’s taken care of business and looked very well doing so.”
