Anthony Joshua will make his comeback to the ring against Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The world-renowned boxer’s last fight was a sixth-round knockout victory over Jake Paul on December 19, 2025, in Miami, Florida.
Later that month, Anthony Joshua suffered a huge personal loss as he was involved in a car accident in Nigeria which saw two of his close friends die.
However, the 36-year-old announced his comeback on his social media handles on Monday, revealing he will face the Albanian Kristian Prenga.
