NEW YORK, NY — There’s a huge boxing weekend ahead with thrilling fights set to go down around the world in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (Saturday, July 25), Sydney, Australia (Saturday, July 25) and New York City (Sunday, July 26).
An action-packed weekend by all means, starting with Saturday’s Riyadh fight card (DAZN) headlined by Anthony Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) vs. Kristian Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs) as well as Errol Spence Jr. (28-1, 22 KOs) vs. Tim Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) in Sydney’s main event (DAZN on Prime).
To close it all out on Sunday in The Big Apple, Zuffa Boxing’s ninth event (Paramount+), is Edgar Berlanga (23-2, 18 KOs) vs. Steven Butler (38-5, 32 KOs).
July 25: Riyadh (DAZN)
- Anthony Joshua vs. Kristian Prenga: Heavyweight
- Hamzah Sheeraz vs. Simon Zachenhuber: Super middleweight, for the WBO title
- Josh Kelly vs. Caoimhin Agyarko: Super welterweight, for the IBF title
- Reito Tsutsumi vs. Alvino Herrera: Super featherweight
- Jakob Bank vs. Pawel August: Middleweight
- Nishant Dev vs. Cesar Diaz: Super welterweight
Anthony Joshua (29-4, 26 KOs) can take one step closer to a huge fight with Tyson Fury when he faces Kristian Prenga (20-1, 20 KOs) on Saturday night in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua knows all about needing to perform when it matters most and when he first fought in The Middle East, he was able to land a statement win. The Brit settled the score with Andy Ruiz in 2019 just six months after losing to the Mexican fighter in New York City.

July 25: Sydney (DAZN on Prime)
- Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu; Middleweight
- Stephen Fulton vs. Liam Wilson; Super-featherweight
- Ahmad Reda vs. Paul Fleming; Lightweight
- Ivan Actis vs. Callum Peters; Middleweight
Errol Spence Jr. (28-1, 22 KOs) will compete in his first bout in three years this weekend when he faces off with Tim Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) in a fascinating Sydney blockbuster, as part of an exciting 24-hours of boxing on DAZN PPV, Ultimate Tier and Prime Video.
Following hot on the heels of Anthony Joshua’s comeback against Kristian Prenga on Saturday night, ‘The Truth’ makes his own return to the ring seeking a comeback victory down under, as he travels to the Australian’s back porch in search of middleweight glory.
Success for Spence could pave a path back to major title opportunities given his famed talents—but defeat may send him back into a possible retirement.

The former super middleweight title challenger will make his promotional debut in his hometown as he looks to bounce back from his stoppage defeat to Hamza Sheeraz last summer.
