In the last fight of the big boxing evening in Saudi Riyadh, Briton Anthony Joshua (26-3, 23 KO) met Swede Otto Wallin (26-1, 14 KO).
The favorite of the fight, Anthony Joshua, immediately began to become more active and already in the first round he tried several times to deal a crushing blow to his opponent.
Wallin was not just a boy to be beaten, but tried to respond, but in the third round the Briton was able to get a good hit and the Swede was led a little around the ring, although he instantly recovered and did not allow Anthony to build on his success.
The fourth three-minute period was indicative; upon its completion there was no longer any doubt that Joshua would emerge victorious in this fight if Wallin did not find that “lucky punch”.
Already in the next round, Joshua “blew up” the stands when his strong left side landed straight on Otto’s head, but the Englishman still could not complete the job.
And yet, the representative of Sweden went to his corner with numerous wounds on his face and it was decided to stop this battle. Anthony Joshua claimed his third victory of the year in powerful style!
Let us remind you that as part of this there is an evening Deontay Wilder lost without a chance to Joseph Parker by decision.
