Despite being knocked down twice in the opening round by Prenga's right hook and uppercut within the first 20 seconds, the former heavyweight world champion, Joshua, managed to recover.

Under intense pressure from his opponent, he again hit the canvas but survived the first round, taking control in the second.

Joshua found his rhythm in the second round, landing precise punches from a distance. A powerful flurry of blows sent Prenga to the mat. The Albanian fighter couldn't beat the count, securing Joshua his 30th professional victory.

Notably, this marked Joshua's first appearance since a serious car accident he suffered last December in Nigeria.

This victory opens the door for a potential clash with long-time rival Tyson Fury. Details regarding Joshua's next fight will be announced following further negotiations.
