Anthony Joshua suffers two knockdowns before recovering to dramatically stop Kristian Prenga in the second round.

Joshua extended his record to 30 victories and four defeats in one of the most dramatic fights of his career Anthony Joshua suffered two knockdowns - the first happening after just 20 seconds - before recovering to dramatically stop Kristian Prenga in the second round of his comeback fight in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The British heavyweight was fighting for the first time since surviving the December car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of his close friends Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele. He was sensationally rocked by a huge uppercut from underdog Prenga in the opening round, and then hit the canvas again later in the round. At that point he looked on the verge of one of the biggest shock defeats in heavyweight history, with the long-awaited Tyson Fury fight hanging by a thread. But Joshua produced one of the greatest escapes of his career, and now that fight is on. He unleashed his right hand in the second round, with the final shot sending Albanian Prenga crashing down and forcing the referee to halt the contest. "It's more than punch power. That was spirit, that was Latz, that was Sina, that was the families. It hurts to even talk about it. It has been tough," Joshua, 36, said.
