Nearly 8 months have passed since he KO\u2019d Jake Paul, and it\u2019s been close to 2 whole years since his defeat at the hands of \u2018DDD\u2019 \u2013 Daniel Dubois. This time, <\/span><b>Anthony Joshua (AJ) is back with a vengeance, ready to face the Albanian puncher Kristian Prenga on Saturday, 26 July 2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The bout is scheduled for 12 rounds, fittingly dubbed \u2018The Comeback\u2019 as AJ is obviously eyeing a long-awaited showdown against Tyson Fury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Prenga, this is his toughest test yet, by far. In addition, a victory in Riyadh could open a lot of doors for him.

Joshua vs Prenga is set to add to the list of blockbusters, though <\/span><b>the spotlight on AJ is undeniably brighter<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than the one shining on his opponent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>For Joshua, this is a comeback fight in every sense<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 a chance to shake off ring rust, rebuild momentum, and stay on course for a domestic superfight with Tyson Fury, who fights Mariusz Wach the night before. For Prenga, it\u2019s a shot at worldwide recognition.

The Brit is a former two-time unified heavyweight champion and 2012 Olympic gold medallist. Despite being outshone by Daniel Dubois, Tyson Fury and Oleksander Usyk as of late, the 6\u20196\u201d frame, devastating power, and profile still make AJ probably the biggest UK boxing star, aside from Fury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristian Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs) arrives as the <\/span><b>definite underdog, and an unfamiliar name<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to most of the boxing world. However, he carries a 100% KO ratio, meaning he gets things done inside the distance. The Albanian has promised to \u201cshock the world\u201d and insists the fight won\u2019t reach the later rounds. For Prenga, this is the opportunity of a lifetime, but with much less pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT: <\/strong><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odds are correct at the time of writing, but are subject to change. Always check the latest prices at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/betting\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7bet Sportsbook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and please gamble responsibly. Odds only reflect implied probabilities set out by the bookmaker and cannot guarantee results or outcomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Fight Winner<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This market is the most straightforward and often the most popular pick in boxing betting. <\/span><b>Punters back either Joshua or Prenga to win the fight outright<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. How that victory comes (KO, stoppage, or the judges) does not affect it. Shorter odds point to the implied favourite, while longer odds reveal who\u2019s considered the underdog.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Anthony Joshua<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Kristian Prenga<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>1\/33<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>17\/2<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>As of now, Joshua is a prohibitive favourite at 1\/33, implying a win probability north of 97%. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These prices don\u2019t surprise expert pundits, fans or boxing analysts, as all of them consider this Joshua\u2019s fight to lose. He\u2019s the former champ and has a much more impressive resume.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, just being a heavyweight can sometimes prove to be the great equaliser. Prenga hits hard, and one or two clean shots could flip the whole thing upside down. <\/span><b>The Albanian\u2019s 17\/2 price reflects a genuine, if slim, puncher\u2019s chance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As we\u2019ve seen, powerful punchers can really hurt AJ. Regardless of what\u2019s said, always do your research before placing any real-money wager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Method of Victory\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this market, <\/span><b>bettors need to correctly predict two things: the fight winner and how the bout is going to end<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Plus, there\u2019s a draw included as a possible outcome. Many people forget that while rare, draws can happen. Bettors can choose one of two options for each athlete (Decision or Technical Decision + KO\/TKO or DQ). This market is more specific, so the odds tend to be higher than the straight winner bet, indicating a bigger inherent risk and a higher degree of difficulty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Method<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Odds<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Anthony Joshua by KO \/ TKO or DQ<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">1\/10<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Anthony Joshua by Decision or Technical Decision<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">6\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Kristian Prenga by KO \/ TKO or DQ<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">13\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Kristian Prenga by Decision or Technical Decision<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">35\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Draw<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">30\/1<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just by glancing at the numbers, everyone can notice that <\/span><b>\u2018Anthony Joshua by KO \/ TKO or DQ\u2019 has the shortest odds by far \u2013 1\/10<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This shows that the market leans towards the fact that the bigger, more proven and more experienced Briton should handle things inside the distance. Despite some high-profile losses, Joshua still carries a staggering 90% KO ratio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Joshua points win drifts out to 6\/1, a nod to how few expect this to reach the scorecards. <\/span><b>On Prenga\u2019s side, his best hope is unsurprisingly the KO\/TKO at 13\/1<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Albanian KO artist has a 100% ratio, meaning if he wins, he doesn\u2019t give his opponent a standing chance. His route to victory via the scorecards is considered the least likely outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Will the Fight Go the Distance?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a popular binary pick. <\/span><b>Back \u2018Yes\u2019 if you think that the judges will be needed after 12 rounds or pick \u2018No\u2019, if you believe that Prenga can drag Joshua into deep waters and the Championship rounds will conclude without a KO or stoppage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Yes<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">No<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>11\/2<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>1\/10<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>At the time of writing this preview, \u2018No\u2019 is the heavily favoured pick at 1\/10<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This reflects the fact that Joshua has much more big-time experience on his belt and carries a 90% KO ratio. In addition, Prenga hasn\u2019t won a fight any other way than knockouts, so when you have 46 out of 49 total combined victories by KO, it\u2019s no surprise that the odds for this are so short.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Joshua\u2019s finishing pedigree, Prenga\u2019s all-or-nothing style, and the Albanian\u2019s own promise that \u201cit\u2019s not going to go 10 rounds\u201d, an early finish is very much the expected outcome. The \u2018Yes\u2019 bet carries a significantly longer price of 11\/2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Other Popular Markets<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the showdown on 25 July approaches, more markets may become available at 7bet. Below is a listed overview for some of the more popular boxing markets that tend to be available at our book before big fights:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>1&#215;2 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 this market introduces a 3<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> outcome (the draw) into the Fight Winner binary list. If the bout goes the full 12 rounds and the judges cannot split the fighters, the fight is ruled a draw. While this is extremely rare in heavyweight boxing, 1&#215;2 offers a form of safety net, since you back one of the athletes to win or draw. The odds are shorter than with \u2018Fight Winner\u2019, but the bet covers two possible outcomes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Round Total (Over\/Under) <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 bettors can wager on whether the fight will last longer (Over) or shorter (Under) than a designated threshold of rounds. Given the KO power on both corners, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua vs Prenga odds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on the earlier round \u2018Under\u2019 markets may show the biggest bet activity. However, punters can usually find plenty of different thresholds with distinct prices to find bets they feel confident in.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Winner &amp; Exact Round <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 it\u2019s a longer-odds proposition that combines the Fight Winner selection with a prediction for a specific round. To win, punters need to correctly guess both the winner and the precise round in which the contest ends, meaning a much higher implied risk, but a higher potential reward as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Round Group Betting &amp; Winner <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 similar to what was listed above, but with more flexibility. Instead of a single round, punters need to pick the winner and the round interval in which they think the bout should finish. For example, Joshua is to win in rounds 1\u20133. If he KO\u2019s Prenga in R2, the bet wins. There are plenty of different picks, so bettors should be able to find options that suit their risk tolerance and bankroll management.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that we have analysed the list of the most popular <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua vs Prenga odds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and markets, it\u2019s time to get to know the fighters up close.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Anthony Joshua \u2013 \u2018AJ\u2019 (29-4, 26 KOs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was a time when \u2018AJ\u2019 was on pace to become the biggest British boxing superstar. Few have been able to reach the heights Joshua has. Ever since <\/span><b>he won super-heavyweight gold at the London 2012 Olympics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Watford man\u2019s career has been box-office. The 6\u20196\u201d punching machine blitzed past early opposition and toppled the legendary Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley in 2017 to etch his name into history books. AJ didn\u2019t stop there <\/span><b>and became a 2-time unified heavyweight champion of the world<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, avenging a shocking loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. to claim back the belts he lost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was all the way back in 2019, and since then, <\/span><b>recent chapters for Joshua have been much tougher<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He failed to stay at the top after back-to-back points defeats to Oleksander Usyk. Then came a crushing KO loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024 (AJ\u2019s last high-profile bout to date), which raised some serious questions about his future at the top. However, he managed to restore some pride and got some <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meme points <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by comprehensively dismantling Jake Paul. <\/span><b>Now 36, and boxing for the first time since the Dubois loss, Joshua needs this win more than ever<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as he hopes to have the mega-fight against Fury sometime in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the questions around his chin, stamina and sharpness loom large. If he\u2019s truly back, he has to show it now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Anthony Joshua \u2013 Last 5 Fights<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Opponent<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Date<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Result<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Jake Paul<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">19 December 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (KO R6)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Daniel Dubois<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">21 September 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Loss (KO R5) \u2013 IBF Heavyweight Title<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Francis Ngannou<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">8 March 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (KO R2)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Otto Wallin<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">23 December 2023<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (RTD R5)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Robert Helenius<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">12 August 2023<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (KO R7)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/betting\/boxing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17599 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Boxing.jpg\" alt=\"Boxing banner\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Boxing.jpg 900w, https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Boxing-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/7bet.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Boxing-768x213.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Kristian Prenga \u2013 (20-1, 20 KOs)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kristian Prenga is a name that had many boxing fans reaching for Google when the bout was first announced. <\/span><b>However, his record tells a vivid story \u2013 the 35-year-old Albanian will arrive to fight night with a 100% KO ratio and 20 wins from 21 outings<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. On paper, at least, this proves that the Albanian is able to convert punches into victories at a better rate than Joshua himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The caveats are significant, however. Even by lenient standards, Prenga\u2019s previous opposition has been modest. He has never been in a ring against anyone, even in close proximity to Joshua\u2019s pedigree. <\/span><b>None of his previous opponents even has a Wikipedia page<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and that\u2019s telling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one outside of Prenga\u2019s camp really even gives him a realistic chance, even though the 6\u20195\u201d giant hasn\u2019t lost a pro bout since 2017.

If he can walk the walk and catch AJ off guard 1 or 2 times, that may be enough to keep the former champ honest and turn this PPV bout into a proper spectacle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Kristian Prenga \u2013 Last 5 Fights<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Opponent<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Date<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Result<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Joe Jones<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">21 February 2026<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO R1)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Brandon Carmack<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">6 December 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (KO R1)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Willie Jake Jr<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">4 April 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO R1)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Juan Torres<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">18 January 2025<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO R2)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Joey Dawejko<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">12 October 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Win (TKO R5)<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Joshua vs Prenga | Tale of the Tape<\/b><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Anthony Joshua<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Kristian Prenga<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">36<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Age<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">35<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">AJ<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Nickname<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">\u2013<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">6\u20196\u201d \/ 198 cm<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Height<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">6\u20195\u201d \/ 196 cm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">82\u201d \/ 208 cm<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Reach<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">\u2013<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Orthodox<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stance<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Orthodox<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">29-4, 26 KOs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Professional Record<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">20-1, 20 KOs<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">90%<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>KO Ratio<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">100%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Watford, England<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Hometown<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">Orosh, Albania<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">2013<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Pro Debut<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #ffffff;\">2016<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Watch Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga in the UK?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re interested in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joshua vs Prenga odds<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or want to watch some high-quality boxing, <\/span><b>the bout will be broadcast on DAZN PPV for all UK fans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

It\u2019s a chance for AJ to return to high-profile heavyweight action and shake off ring rust. A win would set his sights on a long-awaited clash against Fury. For Prenga, it\u2019s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to beat a former world champ.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is This a Title Fight?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nope, Joshua vs Prenga is a straightforward professional, non-title contest. The significance is what may come next for the Watford man. A convincing win would definitely set the stage for Joshua vs Fury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #18ae62;\">Betting is only available to participants above 18 years.
