Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga is live on DAZN pay-per-view in the US this Saturday, July 25, from the Jeddah Superdome in Saudi Arabia. The main card starts at 1:00pm ET, and ring walks for the main event should come at around 5:45pm ET.
It is Joshua’s first outing since he stopped Jake Paul in December, and the stakes are bigger than the matchup suggests. Because a Tyson Fury fight at Wembley reportedly awaits in November, Joshua needs a clean night’s work here. Meanwhile, Prenga, a 6-foot-5 Albanian with 20 knockouts from 20 wins, arrives intent on spoiling the party.
What time is Anthony Joshua vs Kristian Prenga?
Saudi Arabia hosts the card, so the schedule works nicely for US viewers. Coverage begins in the early afternoon on the East Coast. As a result, the main event lands in the evening rather than the small hours.
| Schedule | ET | PT |
|---|---|---|
| Main card start | 1:00pm | 10:00am |
| Joshua vs Prenga ring walks (approx.) | 5:45pm | 2:45pm |
However, ring walk times are approximate. Because two world title fights sit ahead of the main event, a couple of quick finishes on the undercard could bring Joshua out earlier than billed.

FAQs
Joshua and Prenga should make their ring walks at around 5:45pm ET / 2:45pm PT on Saturday, July 25. Before that, the main card starts at 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT.
The pay-per-view costs $59.99 in the US. However, subscribers on DAZN’s Ultimate tier get the event as part of their plan.
Prenga is an Albanian heavyweight with a 20-1 record, and all 20 of his wins have come by knockout. His only defeat came on points early in his career. Even so, this fight represents a significant step up in class.
That is the plan. Promoters are reportedly lining up a Fury fight at Wembley for November, as long as Joshua comes through this weekend without a slip-up.
