The panorama of the highest category of boxing remains active ahead of the commitments scheduled for the end of July. Albanian boxer Kristian Prenga expressed that promoters and sports analysts have made a miscalculation when selecting him as a transitional opponent for Anthony Joshua, ensuring that he has the necessary preparation to alter the course of the division.

The fight card set for July 25 will mark the former British monarch's return to activity, strategically timed one day after Tyson Fury completes his own warm-up fight in Thailand.

This distribution of the calendar has caused the specialized press to project in advance a unification for the end of the season, a situation that the Albanian challenger plans to prevent in the ring.

The motivation factor in the face of adverse forecasts

Far from showing discomfort with the constant projections about his opponent's future, the European contender stated that the lack of attention towards his physical capabilities acts as a motivational factor within his camp.

In an interview with the specialized magazine The Ring, the boxer detailed his perspective regarding commitment and how he manages the expectations of the general public.

"I don't think it's a good idea for him to make plans to fight Tyson Fury. I just like God to make my plans," the Albanian boxer stated in his talk with The Ring when analyzing the planning surrounding Anthony Joshua. "I don't want to make plans for myself because, if I do, it would be like wanting to put myself above God and I can't do that. God is first. He is the only one. He makes the plans and I think I am going to break his plan," he pointed out regarding the outcome planned by the promotion companies.

The challenger's posture remains firm in demonstrating that he has the tonnage and endurance to compete against the leaders of the fullweight division. Regarding the media's tendency to place the focus exclusively on the opposite corner, the boxer commented to The Ring: "I don't think it offended me, but I'm happy because they underestimated me."

“I don't think he is the best heavyweight in the world, but he is a great fighter… I think he has many flaws,” concluded the European athlete in his speech with The Ring when evaluating Anthony Joshua's fighting style. Finally, the contender warned that his volume of striking will prevent the fight from completing the regulation rounds: “It will not reach 10 rounds or 12 rounds.”
