Anthony Joshua and Kristian Prenga Set for High-Stakes London Press Conference Face-Off

Posted : 29 May 2026

Former two-time unified world champion Anthony Joshua will go face-to-face with Albanian knockout artist Kristian Prenga in London on June 1. The initial media event marks the first official meeting between the heavyweight rivals ahead of their highly anticipated summer showdown. The main bout is officially scheduled for July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, running as a prominent marquee event under the Esports World Cup schedule.

The summer fight represents a deeply significant moment for the British boxing star, who is billing the matchup as his definitive career relaunch. Joshua has been out of action out of respect and recovery following a tragic car accident in December 2025. The devastating incident occurred in Nigeria shortly after his stoppage victory over Jake Paul, claiming the lives of two close friends.

The former Olympic gold medalist boasts a seasoned professional record of 29 wins and four defeats, with 26 victories coming via explosive knockout. Joshua has participated in some of the grandest stadium events over the last decade against elite opposition like Wladimir Klitschko and Oleksandr Usyk. Promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that a successful summer outing will clear the path for a mega-fight with Tyson Fury.

Prenga represents a dangerous hurdle for the returning Briton, carrying an imposing record of 20 victories and just one career defeat. The towering 35-year-old power-puncher has secured every single one of his professional wins inside the distance, establishing a 100 percent knockout ratio. He enters the contest on an active 16-fight winning streak, most recently stopping American veteran Joe Jones in Atlantic City.

The Albanian contender expressed massive confidence ahead of traveling to the United Kingdom for the promotional launch. He publicly claimed that Joshua's management team made a terrible miscalculation by choosing him as a comeback opponent. Prenga stated that he is completely happy to be overlooked because it gives him the perfect opportunity to derail future heavyweight plans.
