A former 2-time European kickboxing champion, Prenga clearly made a successful transition to professional boxing.<\/p>\n<p>Now fighting out of Edgewater, New Jersey, the 34-year-old Prenga is an imposing figure, standing 6\u2019 5\u201d and weighing 260 pounds. The heavy-hitter has a maximum knockout percentage of 100%, 19-for-19, and he is riding a 15-fight win streak. His lone loss was 9 years ago to Govanni Auriemma, by way of points (77-74) in their 8-round bout in Albania. It was Prenga\u2019s fifth pro fight.<\/p>\n<p>Prenga had zero amateur matches in boxing before turning pro.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI first started boxing in 2016 when I was 25,\u201d Prenga explained. \u201cI kickboxed before that and started boxing for fun. It wasn\u2019t a hard transition and I\u2019ve enjoyed boxing a lot more than kickboxing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a relatively short time, Prenga has built a passionate fanbase, especially among Albanians living in the New York\/New Jersey area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI needed a manager to get big fights, one who is good at his job and believes in me,\u201d Prenga said. \u201cThat\u2019s why I signed with Keith Sullivan because he will do that so I can just focus on training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of my 19 wins have ended in knockouts because I\u2019m a big puncher. Like every fighter, I want to be the champion of the world, and now all I need is ring experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKristian Prenga is relentless, disciplined and unapologetically ambitious,\u201d Sullivan commented. \u201cHe puts in the work quietly, and now it\u2019s time to make some noise. I\u2019m proud to work with him and excited to guide him toward the opportunities his talent deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (10-0, 6 KOs), 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), lightweight Fei Faiva (6-0-1, 4 KOs) and undefeated featherweight prospect Brooklyn Barwick (4-0, 4 KOs). Sullivan co-manages IBF Welterweight World title challenger Paddy \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Donovan (14-2, 11 KOs) and his cousin, middleweight Jim Donovan (2-0, 1 KO), alongside coach and ex-world champion Andy Lee.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TN Rep.
