With a fight against Tyson Fury on the line, Anthony Joshua will look to make a triumphant return to the ring with a win against Kristian Prenga.
Joshua (29-4) is a former unified heavyweight champion. He has defeated the likes of Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker and Francis Ngannou. Joshua had a four-fight winning streak snapped against Daniel Dubois in 2024, but he got back in the win column after taking out Jake Paul in December.
Shortly after beating Paul, Joshua was involved in a brutal car accident. Following a recovery process that took him out of the spotlight, Joshua will attempt to shake off the rust and prove that he’s ready for Fury.
Prenga (20-1) hasn’t lost a fight since 2017. He has won all of his fights via knockout.
