Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga odds are laughably lopsided — ‘He shouldn’t be in the ring with a doorman’
Anthony Joshua is set to face Kristian Prenga in a lopsided July 25 bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as a tuneup ahead of a planned fight with Tyson Fury; Prenga is heavily favored to lose, with odds reflecting a massive skill gap. Boxing promoter Lou DiBella criticized the matchup, calling Prenga unworthy of sharing a ring with Joshua and likening him to a nightclub doorman. Joshua, returning from a car crash in Nigeria, is 29-4 with 26 KOs, while Prenga is 20-1 with 20 KOs against low-level competition. The fight serves as a warmup before Joshua’s expected showdown with Fury, for which he is currently a +120 underdog.
