Fight Details

Anthony Joshua returns on July 25 in Riyadh against Kristian Prenga, a bout designed to prepare him for what is expected to be a late-2026 showdown with Fury. The fight marks his first appearance since defeating Jake Paul in December, and comes after a difficult period outside the ring following a serious car accident.

The choice of Prenga reflects the approach Joshua’s team has taken - get rounds in, rebuild rhythm, and arrive sharp for the biggest fight of his career. While Prenga brings a knockout-heavy record, the level of opposition he has faced is far removed from world level.

That decision becomes easier to understand when looking at Joshua’s recent timeline. His last fight against a top-tier opponent ended in a knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, and the months since have been about recovery - both physically and mentally. A measured comeback now gives him the platform to reset before stepping into a fight that has defined an era without ever happening.

On the other side, Fury is expected to follow a similar path. After returning with a win over Arslanbek Makhmudov, his team has indicated that another interim fight could also take place before the two finally meet.

Hamzah Sheeraz will make the first defense of his WBO super middleweight title in the co-main event against Simon Zachenhuber. Sheeraz won the vacant belt by stopping Alem Begic in the second round in May.

The second world title fight sees Josh Kelly defend his IBF super welterweight belt against unbeaten Caoimhin Agyarko. Kelly claimed the title from Bakhram Murtazaliev in January, while Agyarko enters at 18-0 after defeating Ishmael Davis.

The undercard also features Hayato Tsutsumi against Alvino Herrera, Oleksandr Khyzhniak against Lenny Patrach and Mikie Tallon against Orlando Pino.

Mohammed Alakel and Ziyad Almaayouf are also scheduled to appear on the Jeddah card.
