Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga form and history

Few names carry as much recognition beyond boxing's traditional borders like Joshua does - a true generational star since his breakthrough over a decade ago.

Yet after a 2024 defeat to Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium, it has been a hard road for the fighter, with a lengthy recovery from physical and mental wounds.

Last December's sudden bout with Jake Paul was more of a loose knockabout for the star, only for a fatal car crash to hand him a further setback mere days later.

The loss of close friends and team members Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami raised questions whether Joshua could call time full stop on an often glittering career.

Instead, working with old rival Oleksandr Usyk, he has slowly built himself back into the ring with an eye on his long-awaited clash against Fury to come later this year.

In Prenga, he faces a near-unbeaten unknown, with the Albanian victorious across the board since 2017 - albeit against lower-wattage opponents for the most part.

His brutal stoppage ratio though means he arrives with plenty still to offer against 'AJ' - and the Briton cannot afford any further slip-ips if he is to prevail in the ring.
