Anthony Joshua is set to return to the ring following a devastating car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his close friends.
The former heavyweight champion will face Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, marking his first fight since taking time off to recover physically and emotionally from the incident.
Joshua, a two-time world champion and Olympic gold medalist, said the bout represents the next step in his journey back to full fitness and competition.
There are also strong indications that a long-anticipated showdown between Joshua and fellow British heavyweight Tyson Fury could take place later in the year, with reports suggesting an agreement may already be in place.
Joshua boasts an impressive professional record, with 29 wins—26 by knockout—and four defeats. His career has seen major victories and setbacks, including regaining his titles after a shock loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. and high-profile bouts against Oleksandr Usyk.
His return is expected to draw significant attention as fans await both his comeback performance and a potential blockbuster clash with Fury.
