Anthony Joshua faces Tyson Fury later in the year, but his immediate focus is a tune-up bout against Kristian Prenga. In their fight in Jeddah, Joshua is knocked down twice in the first round. Despite the early setbacks, he regains control and remains composed through the rest of the opening phase. In the second round, Joshua turns the contest decisively, launching a follow-up attack that ends the fight by knockout. Prenga goes down again and is left crumpled on the canvas, with the bout concluding in round two. The result is presented as a key step in Joshua’s build-up toward the much-anticipated showdown with Fury scheduled for November. Sources also frame the performance as part of Joshua’s return to boxing after a prolonged layoff that followed injuries related to a December car accident that killed two close friends. Overall, all coverage centers on the same fight sequence: two early knockdowns, a recovery by Joshua, and a second-round knockout win over Prenga.
