Anthony Joshua will face Kristian Prenga in Riyadh on July 25 in what is expected to be his warm-up fight for a long-awaited clash with Tyson Fury.
All 20 of Albanian heavyweight Prenga’s wins have come by knockout, but he has yet to face an opponent in Joshua’s class.
“It’s no secret I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready for stepping back into the ring and this is the next step on that journey,” Joshua said.
“I’m delighted to have agreed a multi-fight deal starting with July 25 in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” Joshua said.
“I’m looking forward to competing and picking up where I left off. As I said. The landlord will collect his rent. That is certain.”
