Key Points:
- Former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua overcame two knockdowns to knock out Kristian Prenga in the second round of a non-title heavyweight fight in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
- Joshua was knocked down twice early in the fight but managed to recover and finish Prenga with a right hook, surprising spectators and heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
- The victory potentially secured an all-British bout between Joshua and Tyson Fury later this year, contingent on both fighters winning their warmup fights this weekend.
- Joshua’s manager Eddie Hearn confirmed a contract for the Joshua-Fury fight, with Fury having recently returned from retirement and won his own fight in Thailand.
- Joshua dedicated his win to friends lost in a car crash in December, emphasizing that his victory was driven by spirit and resilience beyond just physical power.
