Anthony Joshua is gearing up to face WBA Inter-Continental heavyweight champion Otto Wallin in a 12-round clash on Saturday, December 23, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The heavyweight bout will headline the 'Day of Reckoning,' featuring other notable matchups, including Deontay Wilder's showdown against Joseph Parker.
'AJ' is aiming for a third consecutive victory following back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk, seeking to position himself for potential high-profile matchups in 2024. A triumph over Wallin could propel the 34-year-old Briton into a mandatory position to challenge for the IBF title, currently held by Usyk, and open doors to potential mega-fights against Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder.
Meanwhile, Wallin has secured six consecutive wins since his closely contested defeat against 'The Gypsy King' in 2019.
