Otto Wallin (26-2, 14 KO’s) will return on July 26 at Boxing Insider’s next show at Tropicana Atlantic City.

He will take on veteran Richard Lartey (16-6, 13 KO’s) in an eight-round main event.

Lartey is a former WBO Africa heavyweight champ, and is coming off a fourth-round knockout of Andrzej Wawrzyk on April 13. During his career, he faced the likes of current WBA interim heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois.

Otto Wallin faced Anthony Joshua

Even though Wallin comes from a tough loss to former world champion Anthony Joshua, he remains a notable contender in the heavyweight division. He faced Joshua on December 23 last year.

Wallin is known for his technical skills and durability in the ring and his two losses as a pro boxer came against former world heavyweight champions.

A win against Lartey would mark the start of his way back into the title mix.
