A potential fight between Anthony Joshua and Moses Itauma in Nigeria is predicted by promoter Dr. Ezekiel Adamu to generate more global interest than the iconic 'Rumble in the Jungle'. Adamu asserts that if staged in Nigeria, this matchup could eclipse the legendary clash between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.

Currently, both fighters have their respective plans: Joshua is set to face Kristian Prenga later this month, while Itauma prepares for a bout against Filip Hrgovic on August 29. However, Adamu emphasizes the significance of their Nigerian heritage and the potential for a massive audience.

He stated, "It's a global fight. We'll get some huge numbers when it comes to viewership." With Africa's population nearing 1.4 billion, and a significant portion being youth, the promoter believes the fight will attract considerable attention.

Key points from Adamu's vision include:

• Joshua's goal to reclaim undisputed status after his fight with Tyson Fury.
• Itauma, an unbeaten fighter, boasts 14 straight wins.
• The demand for high-profile boxing events in Nigeria is immense, as evidenced by past events drawing large crowds and significant online engagement.

Adamu hopes to see this historic fight take place on Nigerian soil, stating, "Both Nigerians on Nigerian soil, that would really be a blockbuster fight." With government support and a youthful demographic, he believes the boxing scene in Nigeria is poised for explosive growth.
