Former two-time heavyweight world champion, Anthony Joshua, made a triumphant return to the boxing ring on Saturday, securing a decisive second-round knockout victory over Kristian Prenga at the Jeddah Superdome.
Joshua’s victory strengthens his prospects of a highly anticipated all-British showdown with Tyson Fury later this year.
The Nigerian-British boxer faced an early scare after being knocked down in the opening round, but he quickly recovered and regained control of the contest.
Joshua responded with a series of powerful combinations before the referee stopped the fight at 1 minute and 52 seconds of the second round.
The bout lasted just 4 minutes and 52 seconds in total.
Joshua entered the fight seeking to make a strong comeback following an extended absence from the ring, while Prenga came into the contest with an unbeaten record in his previous 16 fights, including an impressive knockout streak.
Despite the Albanian’s aggressive start, Joshua quickly found his rhythm and began landing heavy combinations that ultimately forced the referee to intervene.
The impressive victory has kept Joshua on course for a potential long-awaited clash with Tyson Fury, with promoters expected to intensify discussions over the proposed blockbuster heavyweight encounter following his successful comeback.
