Charles Martin has demanded a fight with elite heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma.

Martin is a former holder of the IBF heavyweight world title, who’s fought Anthony Joshua and more recently America’s Jared Anderson.

The American made Anderson work for his unanimous decision 10-round win, but only boxed once last year.

Itauma has only just turned 20 but is advancing rapidly. The unbeaten fighter from Chatham is already on the cusp of moving into world class.

Most recently he took out Demsey McKean in just their first round, applying a devastating finish.

But Martin is undaunted by the prospect of taking on Itauma.

“I will do anything to get another title shot. I fought Jared Anderson on one week’s notice and had him hurt multiple times,” Martin told Sky Sports.

“I would have knocked Jared out with a real training camp, and I will knock Moses out with a proper camp.

“Right now, he has been stopping everyone quick, but it is real different when another puncher is coming back at you. Let’s see if he can take it as good as he gives it.”

Martin wants to fight for a heavyweight world championship once again.

“I want another title shot, and I know knocking off a young, strong guy that everyone’s talking about would line me up for someone like Daniel Dubois,” Martin said.

“So I am willing to do whatever I have to do to get back in position.”

He added: “One thing boxing fans know about me is I will fight anyone. The problem has always been getting people to fight me, so I have been forced to take fights on short notice and injured.

“Right now, I am fresh and feel in my prime. I can KO anyone in the world, including a 20-year-old.”
