Anthony Joshua produced one of the most dramatic victories of his career, surviving two first-round knockdowns before storming back to defeat Kristian Prenga by second-round knockout in a thrilling heavyweight contest.
The former two-time heavyweight world champion was left reeling after Prenga dropped him twice early in the opening round, putting Joshua on the brink of a shocking defeat. However, the British star showed remarkable resilience, recovered his composure, and returned with relentless aggression in the second round.
Joshua unleashed a series of powerful combinations before landing a crushing right hand that sent Prenga crashing down, forcing the referee to stop the fight and hand the 36-year-old a sensational comeback victory.
The dramatic win keeps Joshua’s heavyweight ambitions firmly alive and maintains momentum toward a long-anticipated showdown with Tyson Fury later this year, with both camps indicating that a contract has been signed.
