Anthony Joshua sees Otto Wallin as a stepping stone on his way to a title fight
Anthony Joshua has vowed to deliver a “demolition job” on Otto Wallin when the British heavyweight fights on the same bill as Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia on December 23.
Joshua, who is looking to insert himself back into the world title picture, will face the Swede as part of a stacked card in Riyadh.
The 34-year-old Joshua, who beat Robert Helenius in his last bout in August, will fight after Wilder, who faces Joseph Parker on the undercard.
The 2012 Olympic gold medallist is on a quest to become a three-time heavyweight champion and he sees Wallin, who claimed a points victory over Murat Gassiev in September, as the next step.
“I’m looking forward to delivering my message to Otto Wallin on December 23,” Joshua told a press conference.
“I can’t predict the future but I know what I want to do. I believe I’m going to be three-time heavyweight champion and the first step is to put a demolition job on Otto Wallin.
“It’s going to be a really good time to go to Saudi. It’s going to be big, we haven’t seen a card like this before.
A night of Boxing like no other!
