| Undefeated Albanian knockout artist Roberto Bakaj (left, 16-0, 16 KOs) has publicly challenged former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (right) following Joshua's second-round knockout win over Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia. |
Bakaj issued the challenge through social media, calling for a fight that he believes would capture the attention of boxing fans across the world, especially the large Albanian fanbase.
"Let's make it happen! I guarantee that millions of Albanian fans and countless boxing supporters around the world will back this event. Everyone is incredibly excited and can't wait to see this fight. Let's give the people what they want," Bakaj wrote.
His challenge comes shortly after Anthony Joshua's victory over Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia. Joshua stopped Prenga by knockout in the second round, but the Albanian fighter still impressed many observers after knocking the former unified heavyweight champion down twice during the opening round before Joshua recovered to secure the win.
Roberto Bakaj has built an impressive professional record of his own. The Albanian heavyweight has fought 16 professional bouts, winning all 16 by knockout, earning a reputation as one of the hardest punchers in his division.
Although Joshua is widely expected to continue preparing for a blockbuster clash with Tyson Fury, considered one of the biggest potential fights in British boxing history, Bakaj's public challenge has generated fresh discussion among Albanian boxing fans.
With Kristian Prenga already sharing the ring with Joshua and Roberto Bakaj now openly calling for the opportunity, Albanian heavyweight boxing continues to gain international attention, highlighting the growing ambition of the country's fighters to compete against the sport's biggest names.
