Anthony Joshua defeated Kristian Prenga by knockout in a dominant heavyweight performance, securing an important victory that boosts his hopes of returning to world title contention.
Former two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua returned to winning form with a knockout victory over Kristian Prenga in a high-profile heavyweight bout. The British-Nigerian boxer produced a dominant performance, controlling the fight from the opening bell before eventually stopping his Albanian opponent.
Joshua used his jab effectively and applied sustained pressure throughout the contest, repeatedly backing Prenga onto the ropes with combinations to the head and body. His superior power and ring control gradually wore down the challenger as the fight progressed.
