Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga Fight Preview
Joshua enters the contest as a heavy favourite against the unbeaten Prenga, who has built an impressive record but has yet to face an opponent of the former unified heavyweight champion's calibre. A convincing victory would keep Joshua on course for the blockbuster domestic clash with Tyson Fury, with both camps targeting a showdown later this year.
Prenga brings an unbeaten record and knockout power into the ring, but Joshua's superior experience at world level, athleticism and technical ability make him the overwhelming favourite.
Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga Match Prediction
Prenga has finished all of his professional victories inside the distance and will carry genuine power into the fight, but Joshua should have too much class over the championship rounds.
Expect the former world champion to establish control behind his jab before gradually increasing the pressure. If Joshua performs to his usual level, another stoppage victory looks the most likely outcome.
Prediction: Anthony Joshua to win by stoppage in the middle rounds.
