Promoter Eddie Hearn says Anthony Joshua should address any threat from Kristian Prenga early in their next fight. Speaking on the prospect of Joshua’s path forward, Hearn emphasizes that Joshua must “finish” Prenga before the bout can develop into something that could disrupt future plans. The comments are framed around protecting momentum toward a potential showdown with Tyson Fury. Hearn’s message is that wasting time against Prenga could introduce risk—such as extended exchanges, knockdowns, or injuries—that might complicate Joshua’s ability to pursue the larger objective of a fight with Fury. Both reports present Hearn’s view that Joshua’s best approach is to extinguish the challenge quickly rather than allow Prenga opportunities to influence the contest. The focus remains on timing and preparation: executing an early, decisive performance against Prenga so that Joshua can remain on track for what is described as a future meeting with Fury.
