Joshua Prenga, details of the long - awaited war

Facing Prenga and former world champion in heavy weights will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at “Jeddah Superdom” in Jedah, Saudi Arabia, a arena that has hosted some of the biggest boxing duels over the years.

The main boxing evening programme is expected to begin around 7:00 in Kosovo's time, while the main duel between Joshua and Prenga is expected to take place around 11:00, depending on the duration of preliminary confrontations, writes Kosovapress.

Anthony Joshua, former world champion in heavy category by versions W BA, the IBF and the WBO enter this duel with an extraordinary career, where they have carried out some of the biggest names of this sport, including Wladimir Klitschko, Oleksandr Usykun and Andy Ruiz.

On the other hand, Christian Prenga will seek the greatest moment of his career. Albania's boxer has built a reputation as an aggressive and powerful fighter in the ring, while confronting Joshua presents the biggest challenge so far.

Prenga has claimed to respect Joshua as champion and athlete, but has stressed that there will be no respect for anyone in the ring.

I respect Anthony Joshua, but in the ring I have no respect for any man in the world, nor for my father”, the Prenga is expressed, showing the mentality with which it enters this confrontation.

For Joshua, this duel is another opportunity to prove that one of the main figures of heavy weight remains, while for Prenga is a historic occasion to enter the world's largest boxing scene.

The evening at Jedah is expected to bring about a confrontation between experience and ambition: a confirmed champion like Joshua and a challenger seeking to write history like Christian Prenga.

This meal, according to BBC, will be preparing for Anthony Joshua, who will face his fellow British heavy-class community, Tyson Fury, later this year, but the date has not yet been set.
