Anthony Joshua told he should fight former Tyson Fury opponent after Oleksandr Usyk defeat

Anthony Joshua has been told that he should fight former Tyson Fury opponent Otto Wallin after his devastating loss to Oleksandr Usyk this past weekend. Usyk defeated Joshua for the second consecutive time with another another brilliant performance on Saturday evening in which he used his speed and precision to outbox the British heavyweight.

Usyk has now reclaimed his heavyweight title belts and is hoping to go on to face Tyson Fury in a unification bout.

For Joshua, though, he'll now be out of the title picture for some time, and will need to rebuild his stock after two losses to Usyk in which he was simply outclassed.

An opponent he could face which would immediately see him back amongst the top fighters, would be a fight against former Fury opponent Wallin.

The Swedish heavyweight gave Fury a tough fight, and nearly forced him into a doctor's stoppage TKO after the Gypsy King suffered a nasty cut above his eye.

And Ukrainian promoter Dmitry Salita has claimed a fight with Wallin would be a good move for Joshua.

Salita told Lord Ping : "Based on this performance it looks like Anthony Joshua has got a lot of big fights left. The one that makes the most sense as the next one is Otto Wallin. Especially if Tyson fights Usyk in December. Joshua did a great job, he is still improving as a fighter. Looks like Robert Garcia and the rest of the team helped breathe new life into him."

Wallin's only loss of his career came against Fury, as he would since go on to defeat former Joshua rival Dominic Breazeale.
