Anthony Joshua Form
Anthony Joshua is a former two-time world heavyweight champion with a 26-3 (23 KOs) record.
Joshua enjoyed a quick rise to the top of the heavyweight ladder, winning his first world title in his 16th fight.
He went on to successfully defend the belt multiple times, before adding the WBA (Super) and IBO belts to his collection with an 11th round stoppage of Wladimir Klitschko.
The 34-year-old then won the WBO title in March 2018, beating Joseph Parker via unanimous decision.
Joshua then successfully defended his belts with a seventh round stoppage of Alexander Povetkin later that year, but his first reign came to a stunning end in 2019.
The British heavyweight made his US debut against late stand-in opponent Andy Ruiz Jr, and he was knocked down multiple times before the referee stopped the fight in the seventh round.
He avenged that loss later that year, beating Ruiz Jr by decision to become world champion for a second time, and he then stopped Kubrat Pulev in the ninth round in his only outing of 2020.
Joshua’s reign was brief though, as he lost the belts in his next defence, suffering a unanimous decision defeat at the hands of Oleksandr Usyk.
He then lost the rematch via split decision in the summer of 2022, but has rebounded with two wins in 2023.
Joshua beat Jermaine Franklin by unanimous decision in April, and he followed that up with a seventh-round knockout of Robert Helenius in August.
Otto Wallin Form
Otto Wallin is a heavyweight fighter with a professional record of 26-1 (14 KOs) and 1 No Contest.
Wallin fought across Europe during the first several years of his career and won a couple of minor titles.
In April 2017 he claimed the vacant WBA Continental title by stopping Gianluca Mandras in the fifth round, and a year later he beat Adrian Granat on points to win the EU and Swedish titles.
Those successes helped him land a fight with Tyson Fury in September 2019, and he caused some problems for the now-heavyweight champion that night.
A big punch left Fury with a nasty cut and he was forced to play safe and work his way to a decision win over Wallin.
The Swedish heavyweight has not lost since though, reeling of six consecutive victories to set up this meeting with Joshua.
Wallin stopped Travis Kauffman in the fifth round, and then followed up a decision win over Dominic Breazeale with a points win over Kamil Sokolowski.
He then earned unanimous decision wins over Rydell Booker and Halman Olguin, before edging a split decision win over Murat Gassiev in September.
Verdict
Otto Wallin took Tyson Fury 12 rounds, but he is unlikely to do the same against Anthony Joshua.
Joshua is backed to break down the Swede from range and then unleash his fight-stopping power to end it in the second half of the bout.
