The 34-year-old Prenga\u2019s ultimate goal, however, is to become world champion of boxing\u2019s most celebrated weight class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t only want to be the greatest heavyweight from Albania,\u201d the humble Prenga explained. \u201cWhat I really want is to be the heavyweight champion of the world. That\u2019s what I\u2019m working on, but it\u2019s not what I talk about as that is not my style. I just work hard in the gym and how I live outside the gym to achieve this goal.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Prenga, a two-time European kickboxing champion with no amateur boxing background, has clearly transitioned successfully to pro boxing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs his manager,\u201d NYC lawyer Keith Sullivan stated, \u201cI can tell you Kristian Prenga isn\u2019t just chasing wins, he is on a mission to become Albania\u2019s top heavyweight and a real force on the world heavyweight stage. We\u2019re building Kristian the right way and make no mistake, the goal is for him to be recognized as Albania\u2019s number one heavyweight while competing with the best globally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now fighting out of Edgewater, New Jersey, Prenga stands 6\u2019 5\u201d, weighs 260 pounds, and packs lethal punches. \u201cKP\u201d sports a maximum knockout percentage of 100%, 20-for-20. He is riding a 16-fight win streak and is scheduled to fight again in June.<\/p>\n<p>His lone loss was in his fifth pro fight, 9 years ago to Govanni Auriemma, by way of points (77-74) in their 8-round bout in Albania.<\/p>\n<p>There has never been an Albanian world heavyweight champion of a major sanctioning body in pro boxing. In fact, no Albanian pro boxer has ever won a major world title (WBA, WBO, WBC, IBF). Jurgen Uldedaj did capture the IBO cruiserweight world title last year.<\/p>\n<p>Other leading Albania-born pro boxers include welterweight (and former kickboxer) Florian \u201cThe Albanian King\u201d Marku (13-1-1, 8 KOs, 2018-2024), super welterweight Ermal \u201cThe Albanian Sniper\u201d Hadribeaj (22-0-1, 8 KOs, 2019-present), middleweight Kreshnik \u201cThe Eagle\u201d Qato (30-9, 5 KOs, 2001-2014), and light heavyweight Amarildo Bakaj (14-0, 14 KOs, 2019-present).<\/p>\n<p>Prenga has rapidly built a dedicated following, particularly among Albanians in New York\/New Jersey, in addition to back home in Albania.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan, a former New York State Athletic Commission Deputy Commissioner, also manages 3-time, 2-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (18-5), Bronx NYPD officer Nisa Rodriguez (4-1, 2 KOs), and featherweight prospect Brooklyn Barwick (4-1, 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=\"Pepe Serna 360 Conversation: Texas, Acting, Scarface, Miami Vice, Trump, Humanity, ICE &amp;
