Anthony Joshua weighed 251 pounds at Friday's official weigh-in on the Jeddah waterfront, his heaviest in years. Kristian Prenga came in at 261.4. The 10-pound gap is a deliberate play for power against a naturally bigger opponent, the extra mass suggesting Joshua wants to end the fight early.
The bout Saturday at the Jeddah Superdome is the headliner of a deep Riyadh Season-style card. Main-event ring walks are penciled for roughly 5:45 p.m. ET, though that slides with the undercard. The show streams on DAZN pay-per-view at $59.99 in the U.S. and £19.99 in the U.K., and is also folded into the DAZN Ultimate tier.
Joshua's weight is 7.6 pounds above the 243.4 he carried against Jake Paul in December, and just shy of his career-high 255.4. The increase reads as a choice for knockout power against a fighter who comes forward.
