The long-awaited return of Anthony Joshua to the ring has been announced and he is to face Albanian Kristian Prenga.
Joshua, by some distance, marks Prenga’s biggest fight to date.
The fight will take place on July 25 live from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Prenga has a perfect knockout record with his 20 wins, stopping every single one of them.
At 35 years senior, he is a solemn test for Joshua fight for a comeback. The Albanian is 180 cm lofty, so he will be a slightly shorter man in the evening.

Prenga turned professional in 2016 against Paweł Siska and stated that he would continue to emulate him many times, stopping his fighter in the second round.
He has an incredible 18 stoppages that occurred before the start of the fifth round.
Prenga last saw action just two months ago when he stopped Joe Jones in the first round of their fight in Atlantic City.
The only defeat in the Albanian’s history came in just his fifth professional competition, when he was beaten by Giovanni Auriemma on the scorecards.

Interestingly, Prenga had no amateur boxing experience and instead started out as a kickboxer.
Prenga was a two-time European kickboxing champion before moving on to the sport of boxing.
The Albanian, who lives in Edgewater, Fresh Jersey, will see July 25 as an opportunity that will define his career. He spoke to Ring magazine and sent a stern warning to “AJ.”
“I know they overlook me.
“I’m joyful about it. I will thwart their plans and shock the world in July in Saudi Arabia.”

When Prenga discusses the derailment of plans, it has to do with the breaking news that Anthony Joshua has signed a fight contract Tyson Fury later a year after their fight in the summer.
Fury and Joshua have been on a collision course in terms of fighting each other for over a decade, and now that the fight has been signed, the boxing fraternity can look forward to one of, if not the biggest fights in the sport.

Jarred Anderson’s return to the ring against Solomon Dacres was canceled just days later.
Dacres and Anderson were scheduled to face on May 9 in Fabio Wardley’s first world title defense against Daniel Dubois.
It looks like “Massive Baby” will continue to gain momentum after suffering his first career loss in 2024.
After a great start to his professional career and 17 impressive victories, Anderson took a gigantic risk in his fight against Martin Bakole in Los Angeles.
This acceleration did not go as planned, as Bakole stopped the American in the fifth round.
The American was forced to withdraw from competition for several weeks after suffering an injury during camp.
Anderson reportedly suffered a torn biceps, and the news was first broken by reporter Chris Mannix during the broadcast of Jarrell Miller’s win over Lenier Pero in Las Vegas.
Anderson, 26, recently signed a promotional deal with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, strengthening his existing relationship with Top Rank that he has been pursuing since his professional debut in 2019.
He last fought in a 10-round victory over Marios Kollias in February 2025, more than 14 months ago.
For now, no further information has been provided regarding a possible postponement of the fight.
For Dacres, it would be his first fight since his impressive decision victory over Vladyslav Sirenko.
Both Dacres and Anderson have only one loss to their name, and the fight between them will prove to be a great indicator of where each is at in their careers.
Dacres’ only loss came in the first round to David Adeleye in 2024, and he has only had one fight since that defeat.
Although the Anderson-Dacres fight has been canceled, the Manchester event will still go ahead as planned, with Fabio Wardley defending his WBO heavyweight title for the first time after winning the title with a stoppage victory over Joseph Parker.
Wardley remains undefeated and his opponent is Daniel Dubois, who has a 95% knockout rate.
Dubois is heading straight for another shot at the world title after being stopped by Oleksandr Usyk last July.
Wardley vs. Dubois it should be an epic fight, and the pair showed off their incredible knockout ability throughout their careers. The Ipswich fighter has wins over Justis Huni, Frazer Clarke and Joseph Parker, while Daniel Dubois has stopped Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, so a stoppage seems the most likely outcome for the main event.
