Anthony Joshua returns to the ring this weekend to face Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia. The heavyweight bout headlines 'The Comeback' fight card at the Jeddah Superdome on Saturday, July 25. Fans can order the fight on DAZN PPV for £19.99 or watch at no extra cost with a DAZN Ultimate subscription.
This will be Joshua's first fight since sustaining injuries in a car accident in December that claimed the lives of two of his friends. The accident occurred 10 days after his controversial clash with American Jake Paul in Miami, which ended with Joshua breaking Paul's jaw.
Saturday's contest also marks Joshua's first since teaming up with Oleksandr Usyk's corner, who twice helped the Ukrainian defeat the Briton. Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) is the overwhelming favourite over Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs), but has conceded the bout could prove 'hard work'. Speaking to The Ring, he said: "I know what's expected of me. I'm settled in that way, but definitely not settled with the amount of hard work that comes my way."
