Joshua won't relax before Prenga

Anthony Joshua insists he is not underestimating Kristian Prenga, stating there will be no relaxation from him or his team yet.

The Briton faces the Albanian in Jeddah this weekend, for his first bout of 2026, live on DAZN Pay-Per-View and Ultimate.

Prenga represents a nominal tune-up, but Joshua will not take him lightly, telling The Ring: "I know what's expected of me.

"I'm settled in that way but definitely not settled with the amount of hard work that comes my way. [It's] not supposed to [be] comfortable."

Stevenson fetes 'Boots' and 'Bud'

Shakur Stevenson has revealed Jaron Ennis and Terence Crawford are the hardest fighters he has faced in sparring by punch power.

The pound-for-pound star has shared the ring behind closed doors with some of his fellow future Hall-of-Famers down the years.

But taking to X, Stevenson has now singled out the American duo for particular praise, acknowledging they are difficult contenders.

"'Boots' and 'Bud' was the hardest punchers I sparred with," he replied to a question, before adding: "But it’s very different power."

Allen admits 'terrible' camp

Dave Allen has acknowledged that he has faced a "terrible" training camp ahead of his clash wtih Thomas Carty in September.

'The White Rhino' will be back in action on the Katie Taylor-Flora Pili undercard at Dublin's Croke Park for his latest assignment.

But amid a year where the star was brushed aside at his Doncaster homecoming bout, Allen admits he is struggling right now.

"[It's been] terrible, really," he told talkSPORT. "I'm not a lover of exercise. The older I get, the less I love it. Every day's a bit of a slog."
