Trainer Rob McCracken sums up Anthony Joshua’s performance against Prenga

Former Anthony Joshua trainer Rob McCracken has indicated that 'a lot of work' is needed to prepare Joshua ahead of his anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury, expected in November 2026 in New York. Joshua's most recent warm-up fight against Kristian Prenga raised concerns, as the Albanian scored two knockdowns in the opening round before Joshua stopped him in round two. Fury also completed a warm-up fight, stopping 46-year-old Mariusz Wach in seven rounds, though he too appeared below his best form.
