Promoter Bob Arum threw a jab at the upcoming Joshua-Wallin bout, betting on an upset.
"Joshua's in for a tangle with Wallin. My money's on Otto,' Arum swings, praising Wallin's under-the-radar prowess. 'Wallin's got the chops to topple Anthony," he tells Fight Hub TV.
Arum also weighed in on Wilder vs. Parker: "Wilder's got this. Parker's solid but lacks the knockout punch for Deontay." He predicted Wallin would deliver a stunner. "Wallin's the dark horse here, truly believe it," Arum adds.
Arum ranks Joshua at the bottom of heavyweight elites in a one-two punch. "Joshua's decent, but no Fury, Wilder, or Usyk," Arum critiqued, citing Usyk's past win as proof. Meanwhile, Joshua and Wilder gear up for their December 23 showdowns in Saudi Arabia.
