Albanian boxer Kristian Prenga issued a public challenge to Anthony Joshua ahead of their scheduled bout in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Prenga indicated that his objective is to disrupt Joshua’s anticipated path toward a potential confrontation with Tyson Fury. The comments come as reports suggest that Joshua and Fury have already reached an agreement for a fight later this year.
Despite the established plans between the British heavyweight champion and Fury, Prenga, who holds a professional record of 20 wins against only one loss, stated that Joshua must first contend with him. Speaking in an interview with The Ring Magazine, Prenga criticized Joshua for reportedly prioritizing plans involving Fury before settling the bout with him. Prenga emphasized the necessity of following a specific order of engagements.
He suggested that planning major fights must adhere to a sequence, stating that while Joshua may have plans to face Tyson Fury, the immediate requirement is for Joshua to complete the fight with Prenga first. The statements inject a layer of pre-fight tension into the already high-profile matchup. By publicly challenging the timeline of Joshua’s career trajectory, Prenga has elevated the stakes for the upcoming fight in Saudi Arabia, making his bout a mandatory precursor to any future showdowns involving the world champion.
