Can Sheeraz and Kelly steal Joshua show with Jeddah tests?
Anthony Joshua will launch his road to Tyson Fury tonight when he faces Kristian Prenga at the Jeddah Superdome.
'AJ' will seek a path to 'The Gypsy King' against the Albanian in his first fight of 2026, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate.
Success for Joshua will likely come with the confirmation of a date and venue for his long-awaited clash with his domestic rival.
Yet at the same time, the stakes feel relatively low, with the Briton an overwhelming favourite to deliver a routine victory here.

Fight fans seeking further excitement though need not look far, as Hamzah Sheeraz and Josh Kelly headline the undercard.
The pair contest their first respective defences of their world titles - but could they steal the show outright? DAZN News considers.
Who will Sheeraz and Kelly face?
Having seen off Alem Begic in May to earn the WBO super-middleweight crown, Sheeraz will face Simon Zachenhuber in Jeddah.
For the former, it is a chance to prove he belongs in the division, with hopes for another statement win to underline his credentials.
Kelly will meanwhile face off with durable contender Caoimhin Agyarko in the maiden defence of his IBF super-welterweight crown.
The Sunderland native had hoped to book a major homecoming encounter after defeating Bakhram Murtazaliev back in January.

But he will have to see off the Irishman in the Gulf state first if he is to hold onto that dream, with Agyarko offering a difficult test.
How could they steal the show?
In Sheeraz's case, there is a good chance that the co-headliner could upstage Joshua on the basis of his most recent performances.
Having switched divisions from middleweight last summer, the star's brutal victory over Edgar Berlanga was a true statement turn.
He followed that up in ruthless style against an overwhelmed Begic in Giza to earn his stripes, and looks set to continue his form here.
Kelly though arguably has the tougher assignment. While Sheeraz faces relatively unknown Zachenhuber, Agyarko is a tough cookie.
The latter edged past future British champion Ishamel Davis in his last bout, yet his toughness could help stage a grandstand firefight.
Will Joshua still come out on top?
This will be the big carrot for 'AJ' - especially with Fury in action only a day before against Mariusz Wach half the world away in Thailand.

Joshua was ringside for his rival's win over Arslanbek Makhmudov in April - a performance that never really saw him go through the gears.
In a sense, that will be what many expect from Joshua here, with a performance that shakes off the cobwebs and finds his legs on canvas.
Yet the pressure will be on to deliver something smart and sharp, with a firm reminder of the London 2012 hero's talents at the top end.
Sheeraz and Kelly will both have high hopes of walking away victorious from Jeddah. But it will be Joshua who can only measure his own success.
