(an hour ago)Anthony Joshua has made a spectacular return to the ring, defeating Albanian boxer Christian Prenga with technical knockout in the second round, in the duel held in Jedah, Saudi Arabia.
The confrontation began in the worst possible way possible for the British. Just 20 seconds after the first gong, Joshua fell into the carpet after a powerful blow, while shortly thereafter he suffered a second knockout from Prenga, placing close to one of the biggest loss of his career.
However, the former world champion showed extraordinary character. In the second round, he reacted strongly, hitting the right and overthrowing Prenga. The Albanian failed to continue the war, while the judge intervened to stop the match and to grant Joshua victory with technical knockout.
And now Christian Prenga's official response to his Facebook profile has come.
He also said the first round witnessed to him that he could face the best, but at this level one second could change everything.
His full response:
Sharing the ring with a champion like Anthony Joshua was a very important experience.
Maximum respect for him and for victory.
The first round showed me that we can face the best, but at this level one second change fate.
Loss compels you to look in the mirror and learn what to hide. ”
This fight doesn't break me. I will use this experience to return much stronger.
I apologize for not bringing you victory, thank God for everything.
God bless Albanians!
