“Seek and destroy if you’re Anthony Joshua,” Mora told DAZN Boxing. “You don’t want anything to go wrong. You don’t want anything to ruin the big fight coming up with Tyson Fury and him, which will be the biggest fight in British history.”
“I want him to go out there and destroy this man. I want him to do what Anthony Joshua did to Francis Ngannou. No games, straight knockout. Get your work in and get out.”
Mora believes Joshua should approach the fight with the same aggressive mindset he displayed against Ngannou and avoid giving Prenga any confidence.
“This guy shouldn’t be getting out of the second round with Anthony Joshua. He should be sent out in six minutes,” Mora said.
The former world champion questioned the level of opposition on Prenga’s record, arguing that the challenger has yet to face anyone close to Joshua’s caliber.
“Kristian Prenga does not belong in the ring with a former heavyweight champion, former two-time heavyweight champion of the world,” Mora said. “If you look at his resume, yeah, 20-1 looks incredible. Twenty knockouts. Unbelievable. Look who he knocked out.”
For Mora, the issue goes beyond just winning. He believes Joshua needs a dominant performance to build momentum heading into a potential clash with Fury later this year.
“The fight with Fury, it needs some momentum,” Mora said. “If AJ messes around and, God forbid, ends up going with Kristian Prenga, it’s not going to help the fans’ interest in AJ against Fury.”
Joshua has not fought since his win over Jake Paul and enters the Prenga bout looking to set himself up for one of the biggest heavyweight fights of the modern era. According to Mora, anything less than a quick and decisive victory will raise unnecessary questions ahead of a possible showdown with Fury.
