Anthony Joshua to Win in Rounds 4 or 5

Admittedly, the main event is a mismatch. Prenga is nowhere near world level, and one glance at his highlights will tell you that. Although what he does bring is the unknown, and with a lucrative affair against Fury on the line, it would be foolish of ‘AJ’ to disregard and overlook Prenga by attempting to blast him away inside of a round.

Adding to that, this is Joshua’s second bout since a devastating September 2024 defeat to Daniel Dubois - the other being a gimmick fight with Jake Paul - and also his second under the tutelage of new trainer, Iegor Golub, of Team Usyk.

Therefore, expect Joshua to take a look at Prenga and what he brings to the table, whilst the two-time heavyweight world champion banks a few rounds and then dispatches of the underdog, who offers a similar level of threat to Paul, at a time of his choosing.

That being said, anything beyond the sixth round will be a bad look for ‘AJ’ ahead of a career-defining clash with Fury, so I believe that rounds 4 and 5 should be the sweet spot for a solid performance that builds hype for the Fury showdown and simultaneously shakes off some ring rust.

Fixtures for:Saturday 25th July

Anthony Joshua v Kristian Prenga

Joshua v Prenga

22:30

Over 2.5 Rounds @ 1.67

In line with the single prediction, despite the disparity in quality, I don’t see Joshua searching for an emphatic ‘I’m Back’ kind of statement stoppage on Saturday night. Instead, I’m anticipating a methodical approach, where he and Golub get used to spending time in the corner together to best prepare for Fury.

As a result, in my opinion, a stoppage inside the opening two rounds would be less useful for ‘AJ,’ and I can’t envisage it happening, so backing round three to start should be a safe multiple selection.

Hamzah Sheeraz v Simon Zachenhuber

Joshua v Prenga

21:20

Hamzah Sheeraz to Win in Rounds 1-4 @ 1.91

Unfortunately, Joshua-Prenga is not the only one-sided clash on the bill, with Hamzah Sheeraz set for his second walkover in as many months, even though those outings were a world title challenge and, on Saturday, an attempted first defence.

In May, Sheeraz ran through Alem Begic as expected to pick up the WBO super-middleweight world title, but he faces another German opponent with another manufactured professional record in his first fight as champion.

Simon Zachenhuber lost a six-rounder to Pawel August back in April. That same August fights as a 6/1 underdog lower down on this bill against Jacob Bank - that in itself speaks volumes.

The solitary obstacle that Zachenhuber can provide is that he is a southpaw, but this has proven to be no issue for Sheeraz in the past; his most recent bout against a lefty (Tyler Denny) culminated in a second-round knockout.

Consequently, Sheeraz can be expected to get the job done early once again, so I am picking the Brit to win in Rounds 1-4 for 1.91 (10/11)

Josh Kelly v Caoimhin Agyarko

Joshua v Prenga

20:15

Joshua Kelly by Points or Decision @ 1.57

Finally, in the best-matched fight of the event, Josh Kelly attempts to defend his IBF super-welterweight world title for the first time against Belfast’s Caoimhin Agyarko - with a potential unification against WBA and WBO ruler, Jaron Ennis, hanging in the balance.

Whilst undefeated, Agyarko’s best wins have come against those competing at the domestic/European level, whilst Kelly’s title win against Bakhram Murtazaliev shows that the fleet-footed Sunderland star can out-think those at the peak of the 154lb division.

However, Agyarko presents a different kind of challenge to Murtazaliev, boasting impressive amateur pedigree but perhaps lacking the power to knock Kelly out if able to catch him.

Still, in a technical affair, I see the nimble Kelly being too fast for Agyarko with both his hands and his feet; thus outpointing the challenger by decision to retain his belt.
