Anthony Joshua returns to the ring this weekend, as he boxes Kristian Prenga in a warm-up bout for his super-fight with Tyson Fury.
Joshua will face the Albanian, who is a relative unknown, in the Briton’s first fight since surviving a fatal car crash in December, which claimed the lives of two of his teammates.
That accident in Nigeria occurred 10 days after Joshua stopped YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in Miami, a fight that “AJ” knows was not a comprehensive gateway to his all-British showdown with Fury.
So, 36-year-old Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) will first face Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs), one night after Fury’s warm-up against Mariusz Wach. Joshua vs Fury is then due in late 2026, with a November date rumoured for Wembley Stadium – provided the fight takes place in the early hours of the morning, apparently.
Before then, on the Joshua vs Prenga undercard, British stars Hamzah Sheeraz and Josh Kelly will put their world **** les on the line. Here’s all you need to know:
