Anthony Joshua venue change announced for comeback fight ahead of potential Tyson Fury clash

  • Anthony Joshua is set to face Kristian Prenga on 25 July in a warm-up bout, ahead of a highly anticipated contracted fight with Tyson Fury later this year.
  • The venue for Joshua's upcoming fight against Prenga has been changed from Riyadh to the Jeddah Superdome, both located in Saudi Arabia.
  • While no specific reason was given for the venue alteration, it follows the relocation of the ESports World Cup from Riyadh to Paris due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East, an event loosely tied to the original fight plans.
  • Joshua, a former world heavyweight champion, will enter the ring with a professional record of 29 wins and 4 losses, including 26 knockouts.
  • His opponent, Albania's Kristian Prenga, holds a record of 20 wins and 1 loss, with all 20 victories coming by way of knockout.
