Anthony Joshua set for ring return in July

Anthony Joshua is set to return to action on July 25 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where he will face Kristian Prenga as he continues preparations for a potential long-awaited clash with Tyson Fury

The British-Nigerian heavyweight last fought in December, securing a win over Jake Paul. Shortly after, he was reportedly involved in a tragic car crash that claimed the lives of two of his close friends, a development that raised fresh uncertainty about his boxing future at age 36.

Despite the setback, Joshua has remained active around the heavyweight scene. His appearance at ringside during Tyson Fury’s unanimous decision victory over Arslanbek Makhmudov at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April reignited public interest in a possible all-British showdown.

The moment once again fuelled speculation that, after years of negotiations and delays, a fight between Joshua and Fury could finally be made.

For now, Joshua’s immediate focus shifts to his July bout in Riyadh, which is expected to play a key role in shaping the next phase of his career.
