Anthony Joshua makes his long-awaited return to the ring this weekend when he takes on unknown Albanian Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
'AJ' has been out of action since last December, when he stopped social media star Jake Paul in Miami in devastating fashion, before a personal tragedy put a pause on his career.
With a much-anticipated clash with Tyson Fury on the horizon, Joshua's final tune-up bout sees the 36-year-old facing off against Prenga at the Jeddah Superdome on Saturday night.
Prenga is something of an unknown quantity for British audiences; the 35-year-old has won 20 of his 21 fights by stoppage, however the level of his previous opponents leaves a lot to be desired compared to former world champion Joshua.
