Swedish heavyweight hope Otto Wallin will face two-time former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The first round was even and both boxers had a bit of a feeling out process but the tempo was raised in the second and round. Joshua looked sharp and landed good 1-2 combinations to the head and body.
In the fifth round AJ landed a combo that rocked Wallin badly, but the Swede was able to survive. However, between the fifth and sixth round, the fight was stopped and Joshua was declared winner via knockout.
In the co-main event, former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder lost a one-sided fight against Joseph Parker.
