Who would have thought: Our Knockout of the Week, of course, comes from Anthony Joshua, who—after a tough start that included two knockdowns—landed a devastating combination on Kristian Prenga in the second round.
What a comeback in Jeddah! Anthony Joshua goes down twice in the first round against Kristian Prenga; the Albanian comes within a hair’s breadth of pulling off an upset. But the former world champion keeps his cool, regains his footing in the second round—and strikes back 15 seconds before the bell. With a thunderous right hand, Joshua sends his challenger to the canvas. Prenga doesn’t get back up. Since Tyson Fury also won his warm-up fight the day before against Mariusz Wach, everything is now set for a “Battle of Britain.”
