When is Anthony Joshua vs Otto Walin fight? Date, location and undercard

Anthony Joshua is set to return to the ring for the final time in 2023, with his bout against Swede Otto Wallin now confirmed for December 23 in Saudi Arabia.

The former two-time unified world heavyweight champion is bidding to take his record to 27-3 after safely beating Robert Helenius in his last fight back in August. There had been some discussion about the potential of the 31-year-old Brit taking on Deontay Wilder, but Wallin has stepped in with the pair set to meet in Riyadh.

Wilder instead will take on Joshua Parker on the very same undercard in the Middle East, with any potential meeting of the two looking less and less likely. Set to take place at the Kingdom Arena, Wallin himself currently boasts a record of 26-1 with his only loss coming against Tyson Fury back in September 2021.

Adding further spice along the way, Joshua has once again opted to switch his trainer and looks set to use Fury's former coach Ben Davison. Davison was heavily criticised by members of the boxing world - including Fury's family - as he suffered a nasty cut in his eventual victory over Wallin two years ago.

The fight will take place on Saturday 23 December.

The bout is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the Kingdom Arena.
