| Prenga strikes with the fatal punch Christopher Arnold |
Prenga, a towering figure from Mirdita, Albania, ended the fight with a sudden, unanticipated right hook, just 2 minutes and 27 seconds into their scheduled eight-round bout at the Prudential Center in Newark.
The Albanian flag and the music from the film “Skenderbeu” accompany Prenga in all his appearances, creating a captivating spectacle for his fans. Albanians follow him loyally, showing up in large numbers to his matches and creating an electrifying atmosphere.
While it's not directly related to boxing, it's worth noting the unique cultural background that shapes Prenga. Albania has a rich history of "sworn virgins" - women who choose to live as men in the patriarchal northern part of the country. This practice, which dates back centuries, has been influenced by the Kanun, a traditional code of law. The sworn virgins take on male roles, including heavy manual work and protecting family honor 5.
However, this doesn't mean that Prenga's strength and power come from this tradition. It's simply a fascinating part of the culture that he represents every time he steps into the ring. With each victory, Prenga not only elevates his personal status but also raises the profile of Albanian boxing on the global stage.
