Anthony Joshua returns to ring next week
Anthony Joshua is scheduled to fight Kristian Prenga next week on a 12-fight card in Jeddah, marking his first ring appearance since a serious car crash in Nigeria seven months ago that killed two close friends. Joshua last fought in December, defeating Jake Paul by sixth-round knockout, and has been ramping up training while noting he still needs sparring to reach peak physical condition. The announced undercard includes a WBO super middleweight defence by Hamzah Sheeraz and other international matchups, and a Joshua win would move toward a long-awaited clash with Tyson Fury later this year.
A Joshua victory would set up a likely Tyson Fury showdown.
