Former world champion Anthony Joshua's first fight of the year comes against a surprising opponent — little-known knockout specialist Kristian Prenga. For "AJ", Saturday's 12-round heavyweight showdown been billed as a warm-up for Tyson Fury. For "The Eagle", however, this could be a real-life "Rocky" moment.

Aged 35, Prenga is no up-and-coming prospect. The Albanian bruiser only turned pro in 2016, and over the intervening decade he's racked up almost as many fights as Joshua has in 13 years. And his record speaks for itself.
Prenga has won all but one of his bouts, and all 20 of his victories have come by knockout. He stopped each of his last three opponents in the opening round. Despite that sterling knockout ratio, however, he's never got a look-in from any of the division's established stars — until now.
Joshua has cut a confident figure in Jeddah, having spent much of the buildup plugging his prospective bout with Fury, who was pushed to seven rounds by 46-year-old Mariusz Wach yesterday. However, three years have passed since the former Olympic champion last got the better of a heavyweight boxer, and there's concern amongst his fans that another Andy Ruiz moment could be coming.
