Joshua Stops Prenga, Calls Out Fury After Comeback Win

On Saturday night, Anthony Joshua secured a second-round technical knockout victory over Kristian Prenga at the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia. The fight began dramatically, with Joshua being knocked down twice within the first 20 seconds by Prenga's powerful left uppercut and a subsequent heavy hook.
Despite these setbacks, Joshua, aged 36, demonstrated resilience by beating the referee's count and regrouping in his corner. In the second round, he regained control, ultimately delivering a decisive right hand that sent Prenga to the canvas, prompting the referee to stop the contest.
This victory marked Joshua's 27th career win by technical knockout and was particularly significant as it was his first fight since a tragic car accident in Nigeria last December, which resulted in the deaths of two close friends and team members, Ghami and Ayodele. Joshua honored their memory by entering the ring with their names displayed on his chest and on the ring canvas.
