Kristian Prenga (born 24 January 1991) is an Albanian professional boxer.

Early life

Prenga has stated that despite difficult economic conditions, he had a very happy childhood. He learned how to drive a truck when he was 8 years old to help his father work in the mountains. He gained an interest in boxing after going to the gym to lose weight.[1] He also trained in kickboxing.[2]

Professional career

Prenga made his professional debut on 7 May 2016, defeating veteran Pavel Siska by second round knockout in Munich, Germany.[2]

Prenga suffered an early setback in the fifth fight of his career. He suffered a points deduction and ultimately a points defeat to Dutch journeyman Giovanni Auriemma.[3] Prengas biggest win of his career came against American gatekeeper Joey Dawejko. Prenga won by stoppage in the fifth round after Dawejko complained about a bicep injury.[4] Prenga became one of the best ticket sellers in New Jersey. He knocked out American Juan Torres at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, dropping Torres three times in the first round and twice more in the second round before the referee stopped the fight.[5]

Prenga vs. Joshua

On 27 April 2026, it was announced that Prenga will face former two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as a warm-up fight for Joshua's planned bout with Tyson Fury later in 2026. The bout will be streamed on DAZN on 25 July 2026, taking place at the same time as the Esports World Cup in Boulevard City.[6]

Personal life

Prenga is Catholic.[2]
