British boxing icon pleads with Anthony Joshua to retire before Fury fight after 'shocking' Prenga performance

Anthony Joshua secured a second-round knockout win over Kristian Prenga on July 28, 2026, but the performance raised serious concerns after Joshua was knocked down twice in the first round before rallying to finish his opponent. Three-division world champion Duke McKenzie, speaking to Seconds Out, urged those close to the 36-year-old to have an honest conversation with him about retiring rather than proceeding with a highly anticipated grudge match against Tyson Fury. The 'shocking' display has left fans worried about Joshua absorbing further punishment in a Fury bout.
