Anthony Joshua Vs. Kristian Prenga Full Card, Location And Viewing Info

Anthony Joshua returns to the ring on July 25 at the Jeddah Superdome against Kristian Prenga — a fight that could determine whether the former heavyweight champion still belongs in boxing’s elite. The main event card, broadcast exclusively on DAZN, marks Joshua’s first bout since his team rebranded 2026 as ‘The Comeback.’ After back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk in 2021–22 and a split-decision defeat to Tyson Fury in 2024, Joshua, 36, needs a convincing win to justify another title run. Kristian Prenga, 32, is an Albanian-born heavyweight with a record of 18–1 (13 KOs) who has fought mostly on regional cards. The fight takes place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which has invested heavily in hosting major boxing events, including Joshua’s rematch with Usyk in 2022. The undercard features rising British prospects and local Saudi fighters. DAZN’s global subscription service will stream the event starting at 7 p.m. local time (4 p.m. GMT / 11 a.m. ET). Analysts view the Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga matchup as a calculated risk: if Joshua wins impressively, a fight with Deontay Wilder or Zhilei Zhang could follow. If he struggles, retirement calls will grow louder. The Saudi General Entertainment Authority has backed the event as part of its Vision 2030 sports tourism push. The outcome will shape the heavyweight division’s next chapter, with a mandatory title eliminator possibly ordered by the WBC later this year.
