Overview
- Anthony Joshua was knocked down twice early but recovered to knock out Kristian Prenga in the second round on Saturday, keeping his route to a proposed fight with Tyson Fury intact.
- Tyson Fury stopped Mariusz Wach in the seventh round on Friday in Pattaya, completing his own warm‑up that promoters set as a condition for the showdown.
- Promoter Eddie Hearn said a Joshua–Fury contract has been signed, but key commercial details remain unresolved and parties are negotiating venue, date and broadcast arrangements.
- Joshua dedicated his win to two close friends who died in a December car crash, and his emotional remarks underscored the personal stakes of his comeback.
- Next steps will focus on finalising where and how the fight will be staged, with reported preferences for a UK site on one side and interest in Madison Square Garden and Netflix involvement on the other.
