AI Summary

Kristian Prenga has gained the confidence of sparring partner Brandon Moore, who believes the Albanian can upset Anthony Joshua in their upcoming fight on Saturday in Saudi Arabia. Moore draws parallels to Andy Ruiz, who shocked the boxing world by defeating Joshua in 2019, resulting in Joshua losing his IBF, WBA, and WBO titles.

Despite Joshua being the favorite against Prenga (20-1-0, 20 KOs), Moore suggests that the British heavyweight could face a similar fate.

Moore stated, "[Prenga] looks really, really, really good in sparring right now. 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."

He further added, "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. This is not a small thing - everybody's going to be watching."

Moore, who aspires for his own high-profile bout against a UK heavyweight, emphasized the significance of Prenga's fight against Joshua, calling it the biggest of Prenga's career.

He remarked, "I told [Prenga] that he has the opportunity of a lifetime. He has the opportunity that I would wish for. AJ is a great fighter, and he's done amazing things in the sport of boxing. But [Prenga] has the opportunity, you know, to be in the names of people that have beaten future Hall of Famers. Everything has to be aligned. He has to do everything perfectly."
