Eddie Hearn has urged Anthony Joshua to finish Kristian Prenga before he has even the slightest opportunity to derail plans for a Tyson Fury showdown.
Joshua is expected to beat Prenga (20-1-0, 20 KOs) in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, paving the way for a blockbuster all-British showdown with Fury in November.
Prenga is something of an unknown quantity, with Joshua set to become the biggest and most recognisable name on the Albanian's fight resume by some distance.
But Hearn conceded Prenga's perfect win-to-knockout ratio raised a degree of trepidation and made it essential for Joshua to land the telling blow first.
