Joshua to Return to the Ring in Riyadh, Fury Announces Dublin Fight
Anthony Joshua will return to professional boxing with a public fight against Kristian Prengo of Albania on July 25th in Riyadh. This marks Joshua’s first scheduled bout following a traffic accident in Nigeria in December, resulting in the tragic loss of two close friends. The announcement comes amidst ongoing preparations for Tyson Fury.
Fury recently posted a video on Instagram showcasing his training regimen in Thailand, accompanied by the statement “We go on August 1st, Dublin, Ireland.” Veteran promoter Frank Warren is overseeing the organization of Fury’s upcoming fight in Dublin. Joshua’s return follows his challenge to Fury, spurred by his victory over Mahmudov. He issued a public statement: “Come, I’m waiting for you!”
Despite Joshua’s challenge, the identity of his opponent remains undisclosed.
Promoter Frank Warren has stated definitively that Fury will not be facing Andy Ruiz Jr., who previously replaced Joshua in a 2019 bout. The fight which Fury is preparing is scheduled for August 1st in Dublin, Ireland. This latest development adds to the heightened anticipation surrounding the heavyweight boxing scene.
