Joshua Survives Knockdowns to Stop Prenga

Joshua, a heavy favorite, was stunned early when Prenga floored him with a right hand, but the British former champion recovered and unleashed a barrage in the second round that forced the referee to halt the contest.

The victory paves the way for an all-British showdown with Fury, likely later this year in Saudi Arabia.

Promoters hailed Joshua’s resilience, while Fury watched from ringside.

The fight drew a global audience and sets up one of the most anticipated heavyweight bouts in years.
