Anthony Joshua returns to the boxing ring against Albanian knockout machine Kristian Prenga on Saturday.
Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua begins his prep for a Tyson Fury showdown with an uneven matchup against Albanian underdog Kristian Prenga on Saturday’s ‘Comeback’ card. Boxing fans the world over are hoping this will be the first of two fights this year for Joshua, with anticipation building towards an all-British affair with Fury that’s been more than a decade in the making. However, 20-1 Prenga isn’t to be overlooked in Riyadh considering the 6’5” veteran has collected each and every one of his 20 professional wins with a finish, including a run of three straight first-round victories.

Joshua, 36, is due back in action for the first time since December, the same month he suffered injuries in a car crash in Nigeria after knocking out Jake Paul.
That bout ended up being a walk in the park for the former world heavyweight champion, and promoter Lou DiBella envisions his clash against Prenga being similarly lopsided:
Prior to fighting Paul, ‘AJ’ had more than a year off to recover from his fifth-round knockout loss at the hands of Daniel Dubois in September 2024.
That result functioned as a change of guard in the British pecking order after it became clear Joshua was unlikely to rediscover his momentum in any world title discussion.
However, the Londoner has embraced his prizefighter tag and will be looking to put on a show against an opponent who rarely produces a dull moment.
The Albanian bomber has contributed towards the trash-talking in the build-up to Saturday’s bout and said Joshua is “done” at the elite level, adding his career right now is “worse than it’s ever been.”
That’s just the kind of motivation the Olympic gold medal-winner needs to turn in a devastating comeback, where victory is essential to setting up his much-anticipated Fury fight in the proper manner.
