Joshua has 29 win and four defeats from his 33 professional fights
Anthony Joshua's return to the ring is the "ultimate comeback" but a "risk" given what he has been through in the last six months, says his promoter Eddie Hearn.
The heavyweight will face Kristian Prenga in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 25 July before a much-anticipated showdown against fellow Briton Tyson Fury later this year.
Joshua last fought when he beat YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in December prior to him being a passenger in a car crash in Nigeria, with two members of his team dying in the accident.
The 36-year-old said he had "taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready for stepping back into the ring" against Albanian Prenga, who has a record of 20 wins, all by stoppage, and one loss.
