What’s At Stake For Anthony Joshua?
Fury already handled his end. He stopped Mariusz Wach after seven rounds in Pattaya on Friday, which leaves Joshua as the only remaining obstacle to the biggest fight British boxing can currently make.
The margin between winning and losing is wide. The margin between winning well and winning badly is not. Joshua came in at 251 pounds, his heaviest in years and 7.6 up from the 243.4 he carried in December, which reads as a deliberate play for power against a bigger man. He also trained alongside Oleksandr Usyk’s camp for this one.
A win that takes rounds, or a win where Prenga lands clean, changes the conversation about November without changing the record. The weigh-in and ring-walk breakdown has the rest of the numbers, and Fury has already shown he will work the microphone at Joshua’s expense given the opening.
How Good Is Kristian Prenga?
The record says 20-1 with 20 knockouts, which means the Albanian has never won a decision. He is 6-foot-5, fights out of Edgewater, New Jersey, and rides a 14-fight win streak into the Superdome.
The knock on Prenga is the strength of his opposition — or the lack thereof. His last three came inside the opening round against opponents nobody would confuse with a ranked heavyweight, and his most recent outing was a February main event in Atlantic City. He has not shared a ring with anyone carrying Joshua’s size, speed and pedigree at once.
What he does bring is genuine one-punch power and ten pounds on the former champion. Saturday is also a wall-to-wall boxing day, with Errol Spence Jr. and Tim Tszyu in Sydney running after Jeddah wraps.
I’ll be providing live results for Spence-Tszyu too, so lock me in.
