Anthony Joshua is stepping back into the ring on Saturday, July 25, taking on Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia, and believe me, this isn’t just another fight. This is the one where “AJ” has to prove he is absolutely ready for that monster showdown everyone wants to see against Tyson Fury. If Joshua wants any shot at that blockbuster bout, he needs to come out firing and show the world he’s back at the top of his game.
AJ’s Comeback Trail and The Fury Stakes
Think about it, Joshua, a guy who held all those heavyweight belts, has faced legends. With a 29-4 record, “AJ” has taken down big names like Wladimir Klitschko, Joseph Parker, and Francis Ngannou. But the sport is brutal, and everyone saw his four-fight win streak get snapped against Daniel Dubois. He did get back on track in December, though, taking out Jake Paul in a solid performance. That same month, Joshua was in a car crash, so getting back to peak form is a real test for “The Landlord.” He’s attempting to return to that dominant form and prove beyond a doubt that he’s the man to face Fury. All eyes are on him because one wrong move here could derail everything.
Prenga’s Punch and How to Catch the Action
Now, don’t sleep on Kristian Prenga, because this guy is no joke. “The Albanian” rocks a 20-1 record, and here’s the wild part: he hasn’t lost a fight since 2017! Even crazier, every single one of his wins has come by knockout. Yeah, you read that right. Every. Single. One. That makes Prenga a seriously dangerous opponent who can end the night early, and that’s exactly why this fight has such high stakes for Joshua. You can catch all the action live on DAZN PPV for $44.99. If you are already a DAZN subscriber, a monthly subscription costs $20.99 on a 12-month contract, or $30.99 month-to-month.

The undercard is stacked too, with Hamzah Sheeraz defending his WBO super middleweight title against Simon Zachenhuber, and Josh Kelly fighting Caoimhin Agyarko for the IBF super welterweight title. Reito Tsutsumi vs. Alvino Herrera Meza, Jacob Bank vs. Pawel August, Mikie Tallon vs. Orlando Pino, and Mohammed Alakel vs. Lydon Chircop round out the card. This is a full day of boxing, and the main event is absolutely crucial for Anthony Joshua. He has to make a statement here, or that Fury fight might just slip through his fingers.
