Joshua was flattened by an uppercut inside 30 seconds. He beat the count but looked seriously shaken.

Then Prenga laid out Joshua again, and again Joshua rose before the end of the count and survived to the bell.

A quick end was expected but nobody thought it would be Prenga’s. Joshua unleashed a flurry of fists and finished Prenga with a right hook, sending the Albanian through the bottom of the ropes.

The turnaround shocked even heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk, whose face ringside was caught by TV cameras.

The comeback also saved possibly the biggest fight in British boxing history. Joshua and Tyson Fury have reportedly signed a contract to meet for the first time later this year, but it was on condition they came through warmup bouts this weekend.

鈥淚 hope the fans will be in for a lovely treat,鈥� Joshua told the crowd.

Fury played his part on Friday by forcing 46-year-old Polish journeyman Mariusz Wach to retire in round seven of their fight in Pattaya, Thailand.

Police said some of the victims had life-threatening injuries. In a post on X, police called on everyone to leave the site of the event immediately as ambulances and firefighters attended to the victims.

According to police, a white van had driven into the Tiergarten park, which is next to the route that the pride march had passed along earlier, and hit several people before colliding with a tree. Police could not say how many officers had been deployed to the scene but that it was 鈥渄efinitely a lot of police.鈥�

鈥淲e are conducting an intensive search for possible suspects,鈥� police officer Florian Nath said on a short video released on the Berlin police account on X.

Police spokesperson Alexander Klute told The Associated Press later that 鈥渁t this point, we don鈥檛 know anything about any possible motives, the identity of the perpetrator or the perpetrators, or anything of that nature.鈥�

Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner expressed shock, saying that 鈥渇ollowing a peaceful and vibrant pride parade, the rally for a tolerant and peaceful Berlin was attacked in the most brutal manner.鈥�

鈥淭his is an attack on our free and cosmopolitan society,鈥� Wegner said. 鈥淚 have confidence in the police and security authorities, who will be working around the clock to investigate.鈥�

Hundreds of thousands of people had come to Berlin on Saturday to celebrate at Berlin鈥檚 pride parade, known in Germany as Christopher Street Day. It鈥檚 one of Europe鈥檚 largest celebrations.

The pride event in front of the city鈥檚 iconic Brandenburg Gate in the downtown, near Tiergarten, was called off around 10:15 p.m. and a band鈥檚 performance on stage was interrupted. People were urged to go home and to avoid taking the route through the park.

Before the incident, people had celebrated peacefully, for hours, dancing to loud music, and cheering the around 80 floats that participated in the parade.

Julian Miethig, who had attended the LGBTQ+ party at the Brandenburg Gate earlier, said he had just wanted to go to an afterparty when he heard from a friend that 鈥渟omething bad happened there and there are a lot of fire trucks, a lot of emergency vehicles, ambulances.鈥�

He said he went to Tiergarten and was shocked that something like this could have happened at Berlin鈥檚 pride celebrations.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a dark day for the community,鈥� he said.

On the eve of his induction, Beltr谩n recounted a story from 1999 when the Royals visited Cooperstown and Brett introduced him to Hall of Famer 鈥� and fellow Puerto Rican 鈥� Orlando Cepeda.

鈥淚 have a baseball and I鈥檓 approaching Cepeda for him to sign my baseball, and George said, 鈥楲et me introduce you to the next Hall of Famer from Puerto Rico. His name is Carlos Beltr谩n,鈥欌�� the nine-time All-Star outfielder said Saturday. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 going like, what is he doing? I haven鈥檛 played a game and you鈥檙e introducing me as a Hall of Famer. I don鈥檛 think that鈥檚 a good statement.

鈥淕eorge said, `Well, Carlos, everything is possible in life. If you play hard and if you continue to play good and if you continue to develop yourself, this is an opportunity and this is a chance that you could be here.鈥�

Twenty-seven years later, Brett鈥檚 prediction came true. , just as Brett and Cepeda were enshrined together as part of the 1999 class.

鈥淣ever went through my mind,鈥� Beltr谩n said. 鈥淏ut I did imagine myself as a baseball player. I did imagine myself as a professional baseball player. I come from a very humble family. I got to see my parents doing a lot of work to push us forward.鈥�

Beltr谩n was the 1999 AL Rookie of the Year with Kansas City and went on to play 20 years in the majors, including seven seasons apiece with both the Royals and New York Mets. He made the Hall in his fourth year of eligibility on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot, securing 84.2% of the vote.

Joining him from the BBWAA ballot is former Atlanta Braves center fielder Andruw Jones, who reached 78.4% in his ninth year. Jones nearly dropped off the ballot after his 2018 debut, when he received only 7.3% of the vote 鈥� just above the 5% threshold to get another try.

For Jones, the induction represents the culmination of a patient climb that was supported by his defensive brilliance in center field, where he won 10 straight Gold Gloves from 1998-2007.

And like Beltr谩n, Jones鈥� fondest baseball memory came when he was young.

鈥淛ust getting that call to make it to the major leagues in 鈥�96. Getting on that plane, flying into Philadelphia and walking into the clubhouse and seeing all these guys that you watch on TV who won the World Series in 鈥�95 and trying to win another one in 鈥�96,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hat was the best moment of my career, to be honest with you.鈥�

Beltr谩n and Jones weren鈥檛 elected to the Hall immediately during their BBWAA eligibility, but their call eventually came. For Kent, it never did.

A five-time All-Star second baseman, the 2000 NL MVP fell off the BBWAA ballot in 2023 after exhausting his 10 years of eligibility and falling well short each time of the 75% needed for induction. He was elected by a much smaller panel in December 2025, the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee.

Though his path was different, after speaking with other Hall of Famers this weekend, Kent now knows he belongs just the same.

鈥淚鈥檓 walking around, talking to guys and I鈥檓 getting hugs and I鈥檓 getting, 鈥楥ongratulations,鈥� and I鈥檓 getting, 鈥榊ou should have been in a long time ago,鈥� and all those things,鈥� Kent said. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 seeing in their eyes that they鈥檙e not saying it just to be nice to me because they want something from me, or they鈥檙e just trying to be nice because the cameras are on and it was real. And that鈥檚 probably the first time I was able to relax.鈥�

The marquee matchup features the Los Angeles Dodgers stepping in as -167 moneyline favorites against the New York Mets. This game highlights a spectacular clash of offensive titans. Shohei Ohtani enters the contest pacing the Dodgers with a .286 batting average, 22 home runs, and a commanding 0.919 OPS. On the other side, the Mets counter with the lethal bat of Juan Soto, who mirrors Ohtani’s elite production with a .283 average, 21 home runs, and an even higher 0.947 OPS. With the total set at 7.5 runs, oddsmakers anticipate a balanced game, but the sheer star power at the plate makes player prop betting highly intriguing.

Meanwhile, the clash between the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals projects as the tightest contest on the board. With both sides sitting at a dead-even -116 on the moneyline, bookmakers view this matchup as a true toss-up. Bettors looking for extra value might lean toward the run lines; backing the Cardinals to win by multiple runs (-1.5) yields an attractive +170 payout, while the Reds getting 1.5 runs sits at a heavily juiced -227.

Nathan Matthews, 43, of Lincoln, Nebraska, died Friday, the federal Interior Department said in a release Saturday.

Meanwhile, several fierce wildfires in a summer of big ones continued burning across the western U.S.

One of the worst 鈥� and the one deemed top priority for firefighting efforts 鈥� was just a few miles (5 kilometers) north of Sisters, a central Oregon city of about 3,000 people.

Winds gusting up to 30 mph (50 kilometers per hour) threatened to push flames into new areas. Firefighters made progress keeping the fire in check, however, and officials were optimistic the city would be in the clear once the worst of the wind died down Sunday.

鈥淚t’s going to take a while to put it out entirely. But as long as it stops moving, I think that鈥檒l get people to relax a little bit,鈥� Sisters Mayor Jennifer Letz said.

As of Saturday, the lightning-caused fire had burned about 40 square miles (105 square kilometers) and was 5% contained. About 30 people evacuated from areas north of Sisters were in a shelter at the local high school, with about as many more staying in recreational vehicles parked outside, Letz said.

The city wasn’t in any immediate danger, and business was carrying on like usual, Letz said.

鈥淲e鈥檙e not necessarily asking everybody to come to Sisters. But it鈥檚 safe here,鈥� said Letz.

Months of dry weather, a in some areas, hot spells and erratic winds have contributed to the blazes in Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado and elsewhere this summer.

In Canada, 926 fires were burning Saturday, including 82 deemed out of control, according to the Canadian Wildland Fire Information System.

About 300 aircraft and 5,300 people were involved in fighting the fires. They included 133 in northwestern Ontario alone, according to the province’s Aviation, Forest Fire and Emergency Services agency.

The biggest in Ontario had covered some 1,200 square miles (3,200 square kilometers).

The U.S. firefighter who died was among a group that had deployed to try to shield themselves when flames closed in June 27. Three of them died at the scene: Emily Barker, 38; Nick Hutcherson, 27; and Sydney Watson, 26.

They were part of a Helitack crew 鈥� a group that gets dropped by helicopter into remote areas to try to squelch new, rapidly expanding fires 鈥� that had been deployed in Mesa County, Colorado, west of the city of Grand Junction.

Matthews and another firefighter were taken for medical treatment. The Interior Department declined Saturday to discuss their treatment, Matthews’ career or the surviving firefighter’s current condition.

Watson, Hutcherson and Barker were earlier this month. Memorial arrangements for Matthews weren’t yet announced.
