Former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua returns to the ring to take on Kristian Prenga on Saturday, July 25, 2026, live from the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia on DAZN PPV.
Many thought Joshua’s high-profile fight nights were behind him, after successive setbacks against Oleksandr Usyk and a tough knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois, but the former two-time world heavyweight champion, who has been training with Usyk recently, is aiming to make a big impression in Jeddah.
Joshua may be the strong favourite heading into Saturday’s bout, but he knows all too well that he cannot afford to dismiss an opponent too lightly. The shocking and painful loss to Andy Ruiz Jr. will still haunt the British boxer and Prenga, who has won his last three bouts with opening round knockouts, definitely packs a punch.
Let GOAL give you all the vital information you need ahead of the Joshua vs Prenga heavyweight clash in Saudi Arabia, including details of the fight card and how you can watch and stream all the live action.

Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga Fight Card
Weight | Fight |
|---|---|
Heavyweight | Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga |
Super middleweight (WBO world title) | Hamzah Sheeraz vs Simon Zachenhuber |
Super welterweight (IBF world title) | Josh Kelly vs Caoimhin Agyarko |
Super featherweight | Reito Tsutsumi vs Alvino Herrera |
Super middleweight | Jacob Bank vs Pawel August |
Super welterweight | Nishant Dev vs Cesar Diaz |
While Joshua vs Prenga is the top-of-the-bill event in Jeddah, there are two cracking world title contests preceding the headline bout. Britain's WBO super middleweight champion, Hamzah Sheeraz, and IBF super welterweight belt-holder, Josh Kelly, are both making the first defences of their titles against Simon Zachenhuber and Caoimhin Agyarko respectively.
Undefeated Hamzah Sheeraz, was involved in a split-decision draw against Carlos Adames when he last fought in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) in February 2025. Since then, the Slough-born fighter has KO'd both Edgar Berlanga and Alem Begic, and the latter of those victories saw him crowned world champion for the first time.
While Sheeraz has been a regular globetrotter of late, fighting in Saudi Arabia, England, the United States and Egypt over the past couple of years, Josh Kelly will be lacing up his gloves outside the UK for the first time since 2019. Having clinched the IBF light-middleweight belt in his beloved North East at the start of this year, Kelly now looks to cement his status against a tough unbeaten opponent in the shape of Ireland's Caoimhin Agyarko.
