Just one day after Tyson Fury’s Thailand bout with Mariusz Wach, Anthony Joshua will take centre stage when he takes on Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia. After checking out the latest betting markets, I found the only bet that makes sense. Let’s jump in.
Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga Best Bets
Make no bones about it, the fight that everyone is waiting for is Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury. Should both men win this weekend, we could actually be on the precipice of that all-British blockbuster.
Before we start thinking about that, I went digging into the betting markets for Joshua vs Prenga. Using one of the best online bookies, William Hill, I stumbled upon the only selection that makes sense…
| Market | Odds | Return for £10 |
|---|---|---|
| Anthony Joshua Rounds 1-4 | 4/6 (William Hill) | £16.67 |

Best Bet: Anthony Joshua Rounds 1-4
Matchroom's marketing team would love you to believe that Prenga is a genuine banana skin. And, on paper at least, you can see why. The Albanian is 20-1 as a pro, with all 20 wins coming by knockout.
If you're only looking at the record, you might even be tempted to stump up the £19.99 for the PPV.
Here's the catch.
Prenga – or Mr. Pringle, as Tyson Fury once dubbed him – hasn't really beaten anyone who suggests he belongs in the ring with Anthony Joshua.
His most recent win came against American heavyweight Joe Jones, who had managed just two victories from his previous 10 fights.
Before that, he flattened Brandon Carmack, another American who'd won only three of his previous 12 bouts and, rather ominously, dons a high-vis jacket on his BoxRec profile.
The only name on Prenga's CV that made me pause was Joey Dawejko – the man who supposedly buzzed Joshua in sparring back in 2019.
But that's about it.
Prenga is a dangerous fighter… at his level. Unfortunately for him, Joshua operates several floors above that.
AJ has won three of his last four by knockout, including his demolition of Jake Paul, which reportedly left the influencer needing metal plates to keep his jaw intact.
Joshua doesn't really do half-speed. Exhibition, world title fight or comeback bout, he tends to let his hands go when he smells blood.
One clean right hand could be all it takes to send Mr. Pringle back into the tube.
With that in mind, Joshua to win in Rounds 1-4 looks the play and William Hill's 4/6 is a bigger price than I expected.
If you think Prenga hangs around a little longer, Joshua to win in Rounds 1-6 at 4/11 is the alternative.
