The all-British heavyweight clash between Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury will be a reality provided Joshua clears his latest hurdle tonight.

A decade in the making, the mega-fight contract was signed earlier this year, though boxing fans are still waiting for an official date and venue announcement. First, Joshua must get past Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia this evening in what serves as his first bout since narrowly escaping death in a horrific Christmas car crash last year.

Meanwhile, Fury successfully completed his own assignment in Thailand last night by overcoming Mariusz Wach. The "Gypsy King" is projected to sit ringside in Jeddah tonight, ready for an explosive face-off if Joshua emerges victorious and healthy. Everything you need to know about tonight's critical eliminator is right here...

Anthony Joshua: "Tyson Fury won't get under my skin. It's about boxing and it's about skill; I'm not trying to win a press conference, I'm not trying to win a weigh-in. I'm trying to win a fight. I don't think the Anthony Joshua from Watford needs to come out in that aspect, it needs to come out in the ring. I will let him talk and let him have his fun. I've seen Fury's community, and they're unbelievable talkers; that's the culture they're from. They have no problem calling each other out and saying, 'I'll drive 60 miles next week and meet you down there'. I can't go up against someone who has been doing it since he was 10 years old and think I'm going to win. I've got to let him do what he's good at, and my job is to beat him in the ring. There will be nothing better than getting my hand raised."

Kristian Prenga: "People keep talking but I don't feel disrespected, some people just don't know boxing. Every boxer has their weaknesses and their faults in the ring, no matter who they are. I’ve seen everything. I’ve said it before, I respect Anthony Joshua very much, I grew up watching all of his fights. I've seen his weaknesses and I’ve seen what he does best. Now I will show exactly what I have paid attention to. If Joshua is looking ahead to Fury then that is a benefit to me. I told him before; you can't make a plan before God. He is making plans before God, and if you make a plan before God, you want to go on top of God. He is making a plan for Fury but first he needs to beat me."
