Anthony Joshua Prepares for Comeback Fight in Jeddah

Anthony Joshua, a two-time heavyweight boxing champion, is set to return to the ring against Albanian boxer Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Joshua, who has not fought since December 2025, stated that he feels mentally and physically stronger than ever, attributing his renewed focus to the tragic death of two friends in a car accident in Nigeria late last year.
He expressed a desire to seize the opportunity presented by this fight, emphasizing that he is building himself up stronger than before. Joshua also mentioned that signing a contract for the fight with Tyson Fury does not guarantee success, as true victory lies in mindset and preparation.
He has clear goals for the year and is committed to training hard. Meanwhile, Tyson Fury is targeting a warm-up fight on August 1 in Dublin ahead of their expected clash in November.
