Thirty seconds.
That’s all it took for the impossible to happen.
Anthony Joshua hit the canvas.
Then…
He hit the canvas again.
Against underdog Kristian Prenga, the former heavyweight world champion looked on the verge of one of the biggest upsets of his career.
The fight had barely started.
Prenga landed a devastating uppercut that sent Joshua crashing down.
Joshua beat the count…
But moments later, he was dropped a second time.
The dream fight against Tyson Fury suddenly looked like it was slipping away.
Then everything changed.
Joshua came out for the second round with a completely different mindset.
Sharper.
More aggressive.
And with one explosive combination…
He flattened Prenga with a brutal knockout, ending the fight just 2 minutes and 43 seconds into Round 2.
The comeback stunned the boxing world.
But it also raised serious questions.
Yes, Joshua showed incredible resilience.
Yet being knocked down twice by an opponent he was expected to dominate has sparked doubts about his durability—especially with a blockbuster showdown against Tyson Fury expected later this year.
One thing is certain…
Joshua kept his biggest fight alive.
But after this performance…
The road to Fury suddenly looks a lot more dangerous.
The real question is…
Did Anthony Joshua prove he’s still an elite heavyweight… or did this comeback expose the biggest weakness of his career?
