Fury: Wach is a real test, unlike Prenga for Joshua

To say Tyson Fury isn’t impressed with Kristian Prenga would be putting it mildly.

Prenga, a 35-year-old fringe heavyweight contender, is set for a massive step up in competition when he takes on Anthony Joshua on July 25 at Jeddah Superdome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

The DAZN pay-per-view event is considered a warm-up fight for Joshua as a deal is already in place for him and Fury to square off later this year.

One day before Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) and Prenga do battle, Fury will have his own warm-up fight against Mariusz Wach at Max Muaythai Stadium in Pattaya, Thailand.

Fury considers the 46-year-old Wach (39-13, 20 KOs) to be a more legitimate foe than Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs).

“Prenga is a doorman,” Fury told iFL TV. “Mariusz Wach is a real fighting man. He’s fought multiple world champions. He’s had 50-plus fights. Even at his age he’d still batter Prenga.”

Wach, a one-time world title challenger, is the more recognizable name, but Prenga might have an edge in current form.

Wach has lost three of his last four fights since 2024 and is 6-11 in his last 17. The Pole is coming off a shutout loss against Viktor Vykhryst in March. Prenga, a U.S.-based Albanian, has won 16 consecutive fights since his only loss and all his victories have come by knockout, although his opposition has been marginal.

Fury returned from a 16-month "retirement" by easily outpointing Arslanbek Makhmudov in April. His objective is to work his way back into form as the Joshua fight nears.

“I just want to keep sharp and keep going,” Fury said. “I had 16 months out of the ring, and I only had 12 months back. So hopefully it’s another 12 rounds [against Wach] and we’ll go from there.”

Not a big fan of Joshua - Prenga, but that fight is 3 levels above Fury - Wach.

Prenga has only one loss and have 100% KO ratio. B and C class oponents, but at least he is slaughtering them.
Wach is 3-7 in his last 10 fights, looked like a no-hoper in many of them

Prenga is 35 years old, probably still at his prime
Wach is 46 years old, at least 10 years past prime, at least 40 lbs overweight

Prenga number 35 at HW
Wach number 280 at HW

Joshua - Prenga has somewhat decent undercard fights
Fury - Wach has literally one of worst worst undercard i have ever saw

Definitely. And Aj hasn't beaten a real boxer since 2023. After the way he looked against Jake Paul and Dubois some would say Prenga is dangerous matching for him.

So when will we know the result of this shitshow?

Some fans will have videos uploaded to social media if anything interesting happens. Could be a snooze fest with no highlights though...

That's what i think. He already said he wants to go 12 rounds

Rumours on the Norwegian grapevine is that Wach stopped him in two

Wach now. And the fact he is facing much better opposition makes it even worse.

Fury won rtd 7
Arlo Stephens tko 2

He's made history becoming the first WBC Humanitarian champion.

Retired on his stool?
