Anthony Joshua Says ‘Conquer the Universe’ Starts With Kristian Prenga

The former heavyweight champion insists every future target depends on defeating Kristian Prenga on Saturday before thinking about Tyson Fury or anyone else.

Anthony Joshua says even his biggest ambitions depend on beating Kristian Prenga this Saturday. The former heavyweight champion used a “conquer the universe” analogy to explain why he refuses to look beyond his next fight.

Joshua laid out his mindset regarding the path ahead.

“The goal is to conquer the universe, right? But first, we must conquer Earth.

“Ultimately, the reality of the matter is there is no universe; there is no future unless I get past this checkpoint on Saturday night,” said Joshua to DAZN.

That message matches everything he has preached throughout fight week. Reporters keep bringing up Tyson Fury along with other top heavyweights. Joshua continues bringing every conversation right back to Kristian Prenga.

The former heavyweight champion also wants to fight often rather than waiting months between appearances. He recently mentioned staging his own events if necessary to avoid sitting idle during long negotiations.

Talking about universe conquest signals a clear change in how Joshua speaks to the media. Instead of offering guarded answers, he is voicing massive ambitions while acknowledging those plans mean nothing without a win in Saudi Arabia.

Prenga is the only test that matters right now. A win keeps Joshua on track for the massive heavyweight clashes everyone wants to see. A loss wipes out those grand plans before they can even start.

Dreaming big is simple, but proving it still starts with beating the man in front of him.
