Anthony Joshua knocks out Kristian Prenga after huge scare to move closer to blockbuster showdown with Tyson Fury

Anthony Joshua secured a second-round knockout of Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25, 2026, despite being knocked down within the first 20 seconds of the fight. It was Joshua's first bout since he was involved in a car crash in Nigeria last December that killed two close associates, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele. The result keeps Joshua on track for a potential November showdown with Tyson Fury, who himself recorded a stoppage win over Mariusz Wach in Thailand the previous day.
