Anthony Joshua prepares for July fight with Kristian Prenga in Jeddah

Anthony Joshua is set to return to the ring on July 25 against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Leading up to this fight, Joshua emphasized his focus on Prenga as a critical step towards a planned match with Tyson Fury later in 2026. Joshua, who hasn't fought since late 2025, described the upcoming year as one of intense challenges, aiming to reclaim his status in the heavyweight division. Prenga, with a record of 20-1 and 20 KOs, poses a significant risk as Joshua seeks to reestablish momentum after recent setbacks. A fight between Joshua and Fury is reportedly contracted and could serve as a major event later this year.
