And now 8-0 Itaúma is the latest addition to the trainer’s Harlow academy, joining Joshua and former world featherweight champion Leigh Wood.
The 19-year-old sensation has been compared to boxing’s youngest heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson.
Tyson achieved the feat at just 20 years old when he mercilessly knocked out Trevor Berbick in 1986.
And Itaúma aims to break the record and become world champion next year.
He said The mirror: “I want to become the youngest heavyweight champion of the world since Mike Tyson, who was 20 years old.
“I need to take small steps, but also make sure I get through tasks very quickly. I want to take short steps, but not too many.
“The youngest world heavyweight champion is in my medium-term goals, but it is something I can believe I can achieve before 2025.
“That’s not what I’m thinking about at the moment, but I want to let that happen when I grow as a professional.

“I went from not having any press to this and it’s crazy.
“I’m in the right place because Frank Warren has all the other big heavyweights right now, so I think I have a bright future.”
Itaúma last fought in March, knocking out Dan Garber in the first round and returns on May 18, in Saudi Arabia, against Ilja Mezencev 25-3.
Later that night, Fury, 35, faces Oleksandr Usyk, 37, in the first four-belt heavyweight unification.
