And now 8-0 Itauma is the latest edition to the trainer’s Harlow gym, joining Joshua and ex-featherweight world champion Leigh Wood.
Both announced the partnership on social media.
The 19-year-old sensation has been likened to boxing’s youngest heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson.
Tyson famously achieved the feat at just 20 when he ruthlessly knocked out Trevor Berbick in 1986.
And Itauma set his sights on breaking the record and becoming a world champ by next year.
He told The Mirror: “I want to become the youngest heavyweight world champion since Mike Tyson who was 20 years old.
“I need to take small steps but also ensure that I step up the tasks very quickly. I want to do short steps but not too much with them.
“Youngest ever world heavyweight champion is in my mid-term goals but it is something that I can believe I can achieve before 2025.

“It is not what I am thinking about right of this second, but I want to let that come once I have grown as a professional.
“I have gone from not having any press at all to this and it is crazy.

“I am in the right place because Frank Warren has all the other big heavyweights at the moment so I think I have a bright future.”
Itauma last fought in March, knocking out Dan Garber in the first round and returns on May 18 in Saudi Arabia against 25-3 Ilja Mezencev.
Later that night, Fury, 35, faces Oleksandr Usyk, 37 in the heavyweight division’s first four-belt unification.
