31-year-old and 197-cm big man from Sweden Otto Wallin (24-1, 14 KOs) figured out how to get a rematch with Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs), which he has been seeking ever since he lost Briton in a fairly competitive points match in September 2019.
Otto, who is now on a 4-match winning streak, offers himself as a rival to another Briton Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs), who lost the rematch to Oleksandr Usyk and wants to return before the end of this year, in December.
“I think it makes a lot of sense for me and for Joshua to fight,” Wallin said. “The Brits know me as the boxer who gave Fury one of the toughest fights of his career, I got a lot of support from there. I’m always training, trying to get better and can’t wait to travel to the UK to get another Fury fight with the Anthony Joshua win.”
Otto also commented on what he saw in the Usyk-Joshua rematch, praising Anthony and noting that he saw some vulnerabilities in Alexander’s boxing:
“It was a great fight and Joshua impressed me with the improvements he made. I didn’t think he could put up such a good performance against Usyk, but he proved otherwise and I’m sure a lot of people were wrong about him as well. Usyk had to work hard, and although he once again showed that he is an amazing fighter, we still saw that no one is perfect, including him.
It’s no secret that Wallin will fight Deontay Wilder with pleasure.
