Tyson Fury’s first thoughts on how Anthony Joshua did against Kristian Prenga
Anthony Joshua made a strong comeback by knocking out Kristian Prenga in the second round, and Tyson Fury had some thoughts on the fight.
The 36-year-old British boxer returned to the ring for the first time since his car accident near Lagos, Ghana, last December. The crash sadly took the lives of his friends Latif Ayodele and Sina Ghami, and Joshua himself was hurt but is recovering.
Joshua must have been happy to win against Prenga as he gets ready for his big November fight against fellow Brit Tyson Fury. But he might be a little worried because he was knocked down twice in the first round.
Fury had also fought and won against Polish boxer Mariusz Wach in Thailand that same weekend. His fight wasn’t shown live, but it will be part of the next season of his documentary series.
The Gypsy King (Fury) has done his part to build excitement for this upcoming fight, which could decide who gets to challenge Oleksandr Usyk and claim the top spot in heavyweight boxing. Fury probably expected Joshua to win easily, but seeing him knocked down twice surprised him.
Fury even left a short, shocked comment on Instagram under a video of Joshua’s fight, saying, “Wow wtf.” Lots of fans have already liked his comment.
Joshua will likely use Fury’s surprise as motivation as he aims to prove himself and claim bragging rights when they finally meet in the ring this November.
