Round-by-Round: Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga - 25 July 2026

Do we really need 5 pinned threads on the B&I board btw? Bit of a pisstake considering 4 of them are related to the exact same card. Makes it very annoying to see traffic on other threads. Sort it out mods.

[Glass Joe]

Yeah pinned comments are a bit shite, 2 max if you are going to do them. Popular topics will always find a way to be at the top

There's another Albanian fighter based in New York named Luis Gjolena, 21, who is currently 9(6)-0-1. He fights across the Hudson River from where Prenga does.

If I was Gjolena's manager I would be on the blower straight away to Prenga's people trying to make this fight on the undercard of the next decent card in NYC.

I was prepared to give Joshua the benefit of the doubt for the Dubois fight, bad nights happen, but no, some of you were right - he's shot. His chin has never been McCall-like, but there's no way that first shot has that effect on him 6-7 years ago.

Those of you who said that the last 48 hours have been awful for the proposed "biggest fight in British boxing history" are spot on. AJ looks washed, Fury looks 50-odd years old.

Vegas is fornicating welcome to it.

Absolute shower isn’t it.

Hopefully we get Moses against the winner of DDD-Wardley II to look forward to instead

Neither were going anywhere near those 3 anyway.

This is gonna make it look as though Floyd and Manny fought in their primes. They always leave these big fights way too long, could have been a cracker.

Does anyone believe that the Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury fight will be reminiscent of these legendary bouts?

• Jeff Fenech vs Azumah Nelson III
• Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr.
• Bernard Hopkins vs Roy Jones Jr. II
• Roy Jones Jr. vs Felix Trinidad
• Roy Jones Jr. vs Jeff Lacy
• Kell Brook vs Amir Khan

[Controversial]

Is it 11 times AJ has been dropped now? He definitely seems a lot more fragile these days, the punches from Prenga that had him over didn’t look much so it’s got to be a concern for his team. Fury isn’t much of a puncher though.

Time to cash out for the pair of them, it will be big money

ANY punches trouble AJ now. The fight was very similar to Johnny Fishers last outing.

Will it? I think its lost a lot of its appeal. I'd tune in but I wouldn't be paying big bucks to see it.

I'd think Netflix would pay a big amount for it so that makes it viewable to a wider amount of people. I'd think it'll still sell out whatever Stadium they put it in. The Atmosphere would be better in the U.K.

PPV won't be an issue. It'll be part of the Netflix Subscription.

It appears now that AJ wasn’t even carrying Jake Paul.

Joshua is as chinny as Khan was, respective of the weight class of course.
I still feel conned having to PPV that crap. Fury Joshua will be the same.

Yeh, you guys down on that side of the planet always get shafted

[TBA]

Josh can still bang though.

I'd be confident he could land one on Fury despite the talent gap at their current stages of career. Wach got Fury clean and he is as slow as a Double Decker bus after a curry.
