The message leaves little doubt about how the event is being promoted. Joshua is being presented as the established heavyweight expected to take care of business against the hard-hitting Albanian Prenga.

The 36-year-old Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) is preparing for his second fight since suffering a fifth-round knockout loss to Daniel Dubois in September 2024. He returned to the ring last December, stopping YouTuber Jake Paul in the fifth round in Miami, Florida, and now looks to build on that victory against Prenga.

Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs) has stopped every opponent he has beaten, but the 34-year-old has spent much of his career competing against modest opposition and enters the bout as a sizable underdog. Despite his knockout percentage, few expect him to derail Joshua’s plans.

A dominant victory over Prenga would move Joshua a step closer to the long-discussed domestic showdown with Tyson Fury, provided Fury defeats Mariusz Wach in his scheduled August return. First, however, Joshua must deliver the type of performance DAZN’s “The Landlord” campaign promises on fight night.
