Joshua “The Rocket” Edwards names three heavyweights on his hit list
Unbeaten American heavyweight Joshua “The Rocket” Edwards (4-0, 3 KOs) named three heavyweights on his hit list, which included two Brits.
Speaking to DAZN ahead of his fifth fight on November 8, the 25-year-old Texan said, “Moses Itauma,” naming the Brit instantly, then explained why, “People keep comparing me to him.”
He continued with his list, boldly stating, “Usyk. No time soon, but I wanna get in the ring with Usyk, he’s got real good timing.
“Then I got to say Anthony Joshua,” he concluded.
Golden Boy’s Joshua Timothy Edwards won a gold medal at the 2023 Pan American Games and also competed at the Tokyo 2024 Olympics.
Standing at 6’3″, the heavyweight has won all four fights in the pro ranks, which all took place within 15 weeks of each other between April and August.
Now the Houston heavyweight will meet Las Vegas’ Zeno Vooris (5-1, 5 KOs), nicknamed ‘The Hammer’ for his 100% KO ratio. They clash on the undercard of Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Erickson Lubin this Saturday night in Fort Worth, Texas, live on DAZN.
