Anthony Joshua has survived a huge scare to beat Kristian Prenga with an impressive second-round knockout victory in Saudi Arabia.
The heavyweight boxer, who was fighting for the first time since a car crash in December that claimed the lives of his two close friends, was knocked down twice in the opening round against Prenga.
The first came inside the opening 20 seconds as Prenga caught Joshua with a sharp uppercut, and Joshua was down for a second time as his gloves touched the canvas but was able to survive until the bell.
He then came out flying in the second round and floored Prenga with a huge three-punch combination which finished with a devastating right hand.
Joshua's victory has set up a highly anticipated fight against Tyson Fury in November, marking a major showdown between two of the world's top heavyweight boxers.
The fight against Prenga was a significant test for Joshua, who was forced to overcome a difficult start to claim victory.
Joshua's performance in the second round was a major turnaround from the opening round, where he struggled to cope with Prenga's aggressive style.
Joshua's victory has sent shockwaves through the boxing world and has set up an intriguing match-up with Fury in November.
