Anthony Joshua recovered from two first-round knockdowns by Kristian Prenga in Jeddah before stopping the Albanian in the second round for the 27th knockout of his career. The victory followed Joshua’s return from a fatal car crash that killed his friends Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele. Joshua called out Tyson Fury after the bout, while promoter Eddie Hearn said their fight contract was signed and complete, although venue and timing remained unresolved. Boxing analyst Steve Bunce cautioned that Joshua’s vulnerability against an unranked opponent raised questions about his prospects against elite competition.
