(19 minutes ago)One of the best-known boxing names, Anthony Joshua, returns to the ring this weekend, where he will face Albanian boxer Christian Prenga in a duel that could pave the way for the long-awaited super-front with Tyson Fury.
The former world champion in heavy weights will hold his first match after his return to the exercise, following his tragic car accident in December, where two close friends lost their lives.
Prior to this event, Joshua had defeated Jake Paul in a duel that caught the public's high attention.
If you win over Prenga, the British is expected to finalise the big duel with Tyson Fury, which British media report the deal has already been reached.
When and where does the fight take place?
The confrontation between Anthony Joshua and Christian Prancea will take place on Saturday, July 25th, at Jeddah Superdome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Boxers' entry into the ring is expected to start no sooner than 10:00 by British time, while the event will be broadcast live on the platform DAZIN for viewers worldwide.
There are 13 duels in the programme, while the main evening match will be the one between Joshua and Prance.
Joshua favored but Prenga promises surprise

However, Christian Prenga enters the ring with an impressive 20-win balance and only one defeat, while all victories have been won by knockouts.
The Albanian boxer, 196cm long, believes it may cause one of the biggest surprises of the year, reports the telegraph, broadcast Periscopi.
What did the two boxers say?
Joshua expressed happiness in returning to the ring and stressed that he is ready for the new career chapter.
It's not a secret that I've taken a little time to consolidate and rebuild so I'm ready to be back in the ring. Today is the next step on this road. I'm glad I've reached some matches, starting on July 25th in Saudi Arabia. I look forward to competing and continuing where I left", he declared.
Prenga, on the other hand, believes that Joshua has made a mistake by choosing him as an opponent.
"Anthony Joshua is a great boxer, but he made a big mistake choosing me as an opponent. This is the kind of game that changes everything in my life and in his".
I know they have big plans after this match. I know they're underestimating me, and I like that. I will ruin their plans and surprise the world this July in Saudi Arabia", the Albanian boxer said.
