Why It Matters
Anthony Joshua prepares for a highly anticipated fight against Tyson Fury after a near-disastrous tune-up match.
Anthony Joshua overcame a shocking start, being knocked down twice in the first round, to secure a second-round knockout against Kristian Prenga in Jeddah, salvaging his highly anticipated November fight against Tyson Fury. Joshua’s extravaganza with Fury seemed on the brink of collapse after a disastrous opening round but he recovered to deliver a devastating knockout in the second, aided by the presence of Oleksandr Usyk’s trainers in his corner. Fury, who easily defeated Mariusz Wach in Thailand, had expressed doubts about the fight happening but the potential $100m earnings for each make it highly likely. Joshua showed respect for Fury’s achievements but emphasized his fighter’s mentality, setting the stage for a long-awaited showdown.
