Kristian Prenga, the Albanian heavyweight set to face Anthony Joshua in Riyadh on July 25, says he intends to wreck the anticipated mega-fight between Joshua and Tyson Fury by knocking out the British star and making himself the next challenger, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs), a 35-year-old based in Englewood, New Jersey, was a largely unknown name outside hardcore boxing circles when his fight against Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) was announced. But the veteran, who has been a professional for 10 years, made clear he is not in Riyadh merely to make up the numbers.
“I’m going to spoil that fight,” Prenga told FightsATW, referring to the anticipated Joshua-Fury showdown.
“Maybe Fury will fight me after I knock out Joshua? I’m going to shock the world!”
Prenga said he was in training when his manager, Keith Sullivan, informed him of interest from Team Joshua, and he did not hesitate to accept.
