Anthony Joshua returns to the ring on Saturday as he takes on Albania’s Kristian Prenga in a heavyweight showdown.
The bout is widely viewed as a tune-up fight for Joshua, who is expected to face Tyson Fury in a blockbuster all-British heavyweight clash later this year.
Unsurprisingly, the former unified world champion heads into the contest as an overwhelming favourite, with Sky Bet pricing him at just 1/25 to get the job done.
Prenga, meanwhile, is available at 12/1 to pull off a major upset, while a draw is priced at 60/1.
Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga: Sky Bet odds for Saturday’s heavyweight showdown
Despite being the clear underdog, Prenga brings an impressive record into the fight. The Albanian has lost just once in 21 professional contests, with that sole defeat coming back in 2017.
He also boasts serious knockout power, having recorded all 20 of his career victories inside the distance.
With that in mind, could Prenga produce one of the biggest shocks of the year and derail Joshua’s anticipated superfight with Fury? We’ll soon find out.
Alongside the standard head-to-head market, Sky Bet are also offering a Price Boost for the contest, with Joshua to win in rounds one or two enhanced to 15/8.
It’s a boost that reflects Joshua’s fast-starting reputation, with 14 of his 26 knockout victories coming inside the opening two rounds.
