Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin: Start time, venue, how to watch and more

Former heavyweight champions Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua are set to show their talent at the impending ‘Day of Reckoning’ event. It is turning out to be one of the most significant boxing events in recent history and has a lot to offer in terms of elite-level boxing.

In the main event, former WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will take on a seasoned veteran of the sport in Otto Wallin. Meanwhile, former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will compete against Joseph Parker in the co-main event.

‘AJ’ is on a mission to recapture the heavyweight gold as he will attempt to score his third win of 2023. He is coming off sound victories over Jermain Franklin and Robert Henlenius in recent outings. Meanwhile, Wallin is riding a six-fight winning streak since losing to Tyson Fury in September 2019. He recently defeated Murat Gassiev to win the vacant WBA Intercontinental heavyweight title.

Deontay Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champion, will return to competition for the first time since October 2022. In his last fight, ‘Bronze Bomber’ finished Robert Helenius via first-round knockout to bounce back from back-to-back T/KO losses against Tyson Fury. The 38-year-old will go up against the IBF and WBO Inter-Continental heavyweight title holder Joseph Parker in the co-main event.

Daniel Dubois and Dmitry Bivol are among the other notable fighters competing on the card.
