Anthony Joshua return described as the 'ultimate comeback' but a 'risk'

Promoter Eddie Hearn has described Anthony Joshua's return to professional boxing as the "ultimate comeback" while acknowledging it carries inherent risk. Joshua is preparing for a bout against Kristian Prenga scheduled for July.

Watch the highlights:

Joshua, the former heavyweight world champion, has been away from the ring for a period and is now set to resume his career under the Matchroom Boxing banner. Hearn spoke about the significance of the comeback during interviews following the announcement.

The fight against Prenga will serve as Joshua's first bout back after his hiatus from the sport. Hearn suggested the matchup presents both opportunity and challenges for the British fighter as he looks to re-establish himself among the heavyweight contenders.

Joshua's return has generated significant interest within the boxing world given his status as a former champion. The bout is expected to be announced officially in the coming weeks with full details regarding venue and broadcast arrangements to follow.
