What Kristian Prenga said
Prenga will face former unified champion Joshua in a heavyweight contest that has drawn attention for the perceived gulf in experience and profile between the two fighters. Pre-fight analysis has largely focused on Joshua's credentials rather than Prenga's chances, framing the Albanian as a significant underdog in the division.
What it moves
Prenga's response suggests he plans to use the doubters as motivation rather than let the narrative affect his preparation. Joshua has not publicly addressed the criticism of the matchmaking, and the underdog angle may shift once fight week begins and Prenga's camp reveals more of their gameplan.
