So, naturally, Prenga was asked what makes him believe that he can beat Joshua. “He went through a lot of stuff,” Prenga said with the assistance of a translator while also using his English to the best of his ability. “He was out of boxing for a while, he had the car accident which I feel sorry [for him], and it’s my time. I believe [I knock him out]. I promise you it’s not going to go 10 rounds, the fight.” Prenga would then tell fans what they should know about him, if they are unfamiliar with his work. “I’m a fighter. I’m not a boxer, I’m a fighter. I fight…I’m going to shock the world, brother. I’m going to shock the world.” Prenga, 35, hasn’t fought anybody near the level of Joshua throughout his professional fighting career, so if he’s able to take this massive step up and come through on top, it would indeed be quite the shock.
