Anthony Joshua says his “goal is to conquer the universe” as he prepares for his latest comeback fight on Saturday.
The behemoth known as AJ will face Kristian Prenga with almost all of the focus on a potential long-awaited scrap between the heavyweight boxing icon and fellow Briton Tyson Fury next.
“But first we must conquer Earth,” cautioned the Londoner. “I stand strong and I’m ready for the challenge, one million per cent.”
Here’s when Joshua vs Prenga takes place, what time it starts, where to watch and the latest on Tyson Fury.

Anthony Joshua next fight: Tyson Fury awaits
Joshua dismissed questions about fellow former world champion Fury but is expected to meet the Mancunian later this year if both fighters win this week.
Fury, 37, faces 46-year-old Mariusz Wach in Thailand on Friday, with reports suggesting the fighter known as ‘The Gypsy King’ will then travel to Jeddah to watch Joshua.
“We don’t want to talk about Tyson Fury,” Joshua said, emphasising his need for “focus” on knockout artist Prenga, an Albanian who is yet to encounter a fighter of Joshua’s pedigree.
“Respectfully, I’ve done all the media I can about what the future holds. Let’s focus on the job.”
