âHe certainly shouldnât be in the ring with a doorman and thatâs what Kristian Prenga is,â boxing promoter Lou DiBella told Ariel Helwani. âI know him very well. I tried to sign him multiple times as an opponent who sold tickets for Broadway Boxing to fight other pedestrian sort of heavyweights. He is a very physically strong, just cockstrong dude. Heâs just like a doorman â like, literally a doorman at a nightclub kind of guy. But you wouldnât want to be hit flush by him if you werenât looking, he might hurt you.â
Conversely, Joshua is an underdog against Fury (35-2-1, 24 KOs), clocking in at +120 on the moneyline against -150 for the âGypsy King.â
âDoes Prenga belong near Anthony Joshua? He doesnât belong in the same frigginâ gym,â DiBella added. âDoesnât belong in the same state or country. He doesnât belong in a sparring session. In fact, the people around Anthony wouldnât really pick him as a sparring partner against a good heavyweight because heâs not gonna give you that kind of work. You know, he has a lot of knockouts on his record. Heâs got a 21-1 record, even though he fought Bozo the Clowns.â
