Hamzah Sheeraz and Josh Kelly lead Joshua vs Prenga undercard

The full Joshua vs Prenga undercard has been announced, featuring a total of 12 bouts, including two title defenses for Hamzah Sheeraz and Josh Kelly. The event, initially set to take place in Riyadh on July 25, was moved to Jeddah.

• Sheeraz (23-0-1, 19 KOs) defends his WBO super middleweight title against Simon Zachenhuber (29-1, 18 KOs).
• Kelly (18-1-1, 9 KOs) puts his IBF super welterweight title on the line against Caoimhin Agyarko (18-0, 7 KOs).

In the main event, Britain’s former unified heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist Anthony Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) returns to the ring against Albania’s Kristian Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs).

Sheeraz vs Zachenhuber

• Sheeraz of the UK makes the first defense of his WBO 168-pound title. The unbeaten 27-year-old champion claimed the vacant belt by second-round knockout against Alem Begic in May on the undercard of Usyk vs Rico.
• Zachenhuber of Germany makes his first attempt to become a champion. The 28-year-old southpaw comes off a fifth-round stoppage victory over Armin Ajrulai in June, bouncing back from a points defeat to Pawel August in April.

Kelly vs Agyarko

• IBF 154-pound champion Kelly of the UK also makes his first title defense. The 32-year-old champion claimed the strap by majority decision against Bakhram Murtazaliev in January.
• Undefeated Agyarko makes his first bid to claim one of boxing’s major titles. The 29-year-old Irish challenger won his previous bout last September by split decision against Ishmael Davis.
