Anthony Joshua’s November date of destiny

Anthony Joshua's promoter Barry Hearn has acknowledged that Joshua's shaky start against Kristian Prenga will likely have boosted Tyson Fury's confidence ahead of their upcoming heavyweight showdown. Hearn admitted Fury would see Joshua's early struggles as evidence that trading punches with him carries real reward, though he stressed Joshua's knockout power remains a danger to any opponent. Joshua ultimately stopped Prenga in convincing fashion despite the rocky opening rounds.
