Otto Wallin, who faced Anthony Joshua last year, is well-acquainted with what it takes to compete against the former world champion. Wallin, a Swedish heavyweight contender, was expected to challenge Joshua but endured significant punishment before his corner stopped the fight.
Looking ahead, Joshua is set to face Daniel Dubois in an all-British clash for the IBF title, scheduled to headline a major event at Wembley Stadium on September 21. Wallin has shared his thoughts on the upcoming bout.
“I think Joshua vs. Dubois will be an exciting fight,” Wallin told Action Network. “If Dubois fights like he did in his last bout against Filip Hrgovic, where he took a lot of shots from one-twos, that could be problematic. Joshua’s punches are very powerful, and Dubois might not be able to withstand them. If Dubois approaches the fight with the same style, I believe Joshua could win by knockout before the fifth round. However, if Dubois improves his defense and lands some solid shots, the fight could become quite intriguing.”
