Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga: Eddie Hearn praises AJ's resilience ahead of July return and future Tyson Fury fight

Anthony Joshua is set to return to the ring on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, facing Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga in a warm-up bout ahead of a potential showdown with Tyson Fury. Promoter Eddie Hearn told Sky Sports News that Joshua took an extended break following a December car crash that killed two of his childhood friends and training team members, Sina Ghami and Latif Ayodele. Hearn praised Joshua's resilience, noting that supporting the victims' families has given the two-time heavyweight champion added motivation for his comeback.
