Kristian Prenga was battling illness, he was not bribed, says his manager

But Joshua, 30-4 (27 KOs), gained control in the next session before knocking Prenga through the ropes and out with a mighty right hand.
Prenga was merely exhausted and out of ideas after his surprise start, his manager insisted.
“The instructions in the corner for the second round were, 'Continue what you're doing, keep the pressure on, keep pumping the jab and when you have the opportunities, take him'.
Prenga came into the contest as a 20-to-1 underdog, with no amateur experience, and never having fought world-class opposition before.
And that's the slither... that goes to the talent and the skillset of AJ, that's the tiny, tiny opening of the door that AJ needed to kick it wide open and just take over.
