Anthony Joshua declares he is stronger than ever as road to Tyson Fury showdown begins against Kristian Prenga

Anthony Joshua will return to the ring on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, facing Albanian fighter Kristian Prenga in a warm-up bout ahead of his highly anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury. The two-time heavyweight champion has been away from boxing following the tragic deaths of two friends in a car accident in Nigeria, with his last fight being a victory over Jake Paul in December 2025. Joshua told Sky Sports he feels mentally and physically stronger than ever after his time away from the sport.
