Heavyweight contender Brandon Moore has warned Anthony Joshua that Kristian Prenga possesses the power to recreate the upset Andy Ruiz Jr. caused.
Moore, who previously sparred with the Albanian fighter, stated Prenga carries genuine concussive force and could emulate Ruiz’s historic knockout over Joshua.

The prediction stems from Moore’s intense sparring sessions with Prenga. Having felt Prenga’s raw power firsthand, Moore is confident the Albanian has the physical tools and the aggressive style needed to shatter Joshua’s game plan.
According to Moore, Prenga’s heavy hands make him a severe threat to catch Joshua clean, similar to the combinations Ruiz landed at Madison Square Garden.
“[Prenga] looks really, really, really good in sparring right now,” Moore told Sky Sports.
“It’s going to be a pretty entertaining fight.
“I think that he has a pretty good shot of beating him, and I think he’s bigger than Joshua.
“Joshua just has a muscular physique, but Prenga’s a bigger man.

“It’s going to be a tough fight, but I think he can catch [Joshua] the same way Andy Ruiz did.
“This is AJ’s first fight back. AJ’s had a lot of stuff going on in his life – nothing but respect to AJ.
“But when you’re getting back into the ring, you haven’t fought in a while, that ring rust is real.”
