'Not for sale!' - Prenga refutes thrown claims over Joshua defeat

The Albanian, a relative unknown, dropped the two-time heavyweight champion twice inside a stunning first three minutes.

But Joshua rallied to secure his own top stoppage in the very next round and keep his super-bout with Tyson Fury on-track.

Subsequent commentators have suggested Prenga might have been persuaded to change tactics in order to suit his rival.

But the underdog has now pushed back against such suggestions emphatically, while reflecting on where he went wrong.

"I’m not for sale,” he was quoted by Boxing Scene. “That’s [the] first thing. I promise you. Why am I going to sell the fight?

"If I win, I'm going to make more money than selling the fight. I know if I attack, maybe I finish the fight. But [it is] whatever."

Prenga admitted that he hoped his performance in Jeddah lays the path for other big nights after his performance versus 'AJ',

"Joshua is [a] world [and] Olympic champion," he added. "He’s never [been] dropped in the first round. I know I have the power.”
