Kristian Prenga almost shocked the world when he went toe-to-toe with Anthony Joshua and nearly scuppered plans for a Tyson Fury showdown last month. Now, the Albanian has offered his thoughts on whether Joshua\u2019s best days are behind him.<\/p>\n
When \u2018AJ\u2019 announced that Prenga would be in the opposing corner for his comeback, some fans felt disappointed, anticipating a one-sided and uncompetitive event in Jeddah that would not reveal much about where the two-time heavyweight world champion is at in his career.<\/p>\n
However, on fight night, Prenga twice dropped the Briton in the opening round<\/a> in one of the most shocking moments of the 2026 boxing calendar thus far. Joshua bounced back and delivered an emphatic second-round knockout to halt the upset in its tracks, but the performance raised more questions than answers.<\/p>\n Fury-Joshua remains unannounced as prolonged discussions regarding the location of the event continue.<\/a> Discussing that proposed bout with Tris Dixon<\/a>, Prenga denied the idea that Joshua is \u2018past his best\u2019 and declared that \u2018it will not be an easy fight for Tyson Fury\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not true. Joshua is a great fighter. He has experience. He has power and I know he went through a lot in his life \u2013 as we all know. But it\u2019s not an easy fight for Tyson Fury. I promise you.\u201d<\/p>\n
