Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga • FULL FINAL PRESS CONFERENCE | DAZN Boxing

Anthony Joshua and Kristian Prenga came together for the final press conference ahead of their heavyweight showdown in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with both men making their intentions clear before fight night on DAZN Boxing. The event saw the former two-time unified heavyweight world champion dismiss talk of future opponents, while Albania’s Kristian Prenga vowed to produce the biggest upset of his career. Joshua, returning to the ring with another major chapter of his career ahead of him, insisted his complete focus remains on Saturday night’s opponent despite ongoing speculation surrounding a potential showdown with Tyson Fury. Speaking about the challenge ahead, Joshua explained: “There is no future unless I get past this checkpoint on Saturday night.” When the conversation inevitably turned towards Tyson Fury, Joshua quickly shut down the discussion, telling reporters: “Respectfully… let’s focus on what the job is.” Instead, Joshua praised his training camp and revealed the level of preparation that has gone into the fight, describing the contest as much more than simply two fighters sharing a ring. “We’re focusing on the team. My coach against his coach. My physio against his physio. My strategist against his strategist… and may the best man win.” Standing opposite him was Albanian heavyweight Kristian Prenga, who believes this is the opportunity he has spent his entire career waiting for. Thanking Turki Alalshikh for making the fight possible, Prenga said he intends to show the world exactly who he is on boxing’s biggest stage. The challenger also revealed he has spent considerable time studying Joshua’s style. “I’ve seen his weakness. I’ve seen what he does best. On Saturday night, I will show exactly what I paid attention to.” Asked how he expects the fight to end, Prenga needed only two words: “Short knockout.” Joshua remained unfazed by the prediction, responding with calm confidence. “I don’t believe it… but only God knows.” Promoter Eddie Hearn praised Joshua’s mindset and physical condition, describing it as one of the strongest training camps he has witnessed, while Prenga’s manager Keith Sullivan argued that the Albanian enters the contest carrying the hopes of an entire nation and likened the fight to a real-life Rocky story, insisting his man has everything to gain and nothing to lose. The two heavyweights then went face-to-face one final time before fight night, bringing an end to a respectful but confident press conference as both men promised to deliver on one of the biggest nights of the heavyweight boxing calendar. 📍 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 🥊 Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga 📺 Live on DAZN Boxing Subscribe to Seconds Out for exclusive boxing interviews, press conferences, weigh-ins, face-offs, behind-the-scenes access and the very best boxing coverage from around the world.
