Anthony Joshua will make his boxing comeback this weekend when he faces Albanian Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia. The former two-time unified heavyweight champion will fight at the Jeddah Superdome, with the event titled 'The Comeback'.
This will be Joshua's first bout since being injured in a car accident in December that took the lives of two of his friends. The accident came just 10 days after his controversial fight with American Jake Paul in Miami, which ended after Joshua broke the former YouTuber-turned-boxer's jaw.
Saturday's fight will also be the first since Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) linked up with Oleksandr Usyk's team, who twice helped the Ukrainian defeat the Brit. While he is the clear favourite to overcome Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs), Joshua has admitted that downing the bout could prove 'hard work'.
When and where is Joshua vs Prenga?
