The Albanian boxer will get into the ring against the former two-time heavyweight world champion later this month and while he is seen as the underdog, he is ready for the fight.

He told Boxing News magazine: “My greatest strength is my mentality.

“I’ve had to fight for everything in life and in boxing.

“Physically, I have real heavyweight power and toughness, but mentally, I never break….

“Heavyweight boxing only takes one moment and I have the tools, power and mentality to create the moment.”

Prenga thinks a win would be huge for his country.

He said: “Albania has proud fighting people and they’ve supported me from day one.

“To beat a global name like Joshua would be a massive moment for Albanian boxing and for every Albanian around the world.”

But the boxer refused to give any details about his strategy for the fight.

He laughed: “Are you working for AJ? You want my gameplans? Can you give me Joshua’s in return?

“Know this; I am not going in there just to stand around and admire him.

“I’m going there to compete, impose myself and take over when the opportunity comes.

“If you don’t know who I am now, you will after I beat Joshua.”
