Anthony Joshua tipped the scales at 251lbs for his upcoming bout against Kristian Prenga, marking him 7.6lbs heavier than his previous fight against Jake Paul in December 2025, where he weighed 243.4lbs. Prenga, his opponent, weighed in at 261.4lbs, significantly heavier than Joshua.

Joshua's heaviest fight weight recorded was 255.4lbs against Jermaine Franklin in April 2023. This fight follows Tyson Fury's seventh-round TKO victory over Mariusz Wach. Fury expressed doubt about Joshua's ability to overcome Prenga, who boasts an impressive record with 16 recent victories by knockout or TKO.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua's promoter, anticipates a strong performance, emphasizing Prenga's credible threat and the significance of the opportunity. Joshua has been training with Oleksandr Usyk's team, who have urged him to 'show greatness' and consistently perform at his peak, integrating his best abilities into his daily training regimen.
