Joshua completely out-muscles Wallin!

On December 23 in Saudi Arabia, in the main fight of the evening, Briton Anthony Joshua defeated Swede Otto Wallin before the fight even reached the midway point. After the fifth round, Wallin's corner refused to continue the fight.

After the first round, Otto's nose was broken, and from round to round Joshua's dominance only grew. As a result - RTD 5 for the British.

Match statistics

According to CompuBox statistics, 37% of Joshua's power shots were to the body. In the final, fifth round, Anthony landed 61% of his power shots.

32.1% of the Briton's shots reached the target. The same figure for the Swede is 18.7%. Anthony also pre-jabbed his opponent - 21.2% of accurate jabs versus 14.9%.

What's next?

Anthony plans to go for the IBF title. The current contender for the belt is Filip Hrgovic. On February 17, 2024, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will meet in a fight for the absolute championship. The IBF is expected to take the belt away from the winner if he does not want to defend it. And given the clause on the rematch between the Briton and the Ukrainian, this is definitely worth expecting.

According to Eddie Hearn, Joshua will fight against Hrgovic for the IBF belt. Anthony himself has said more than once that he dreams of winning the belt for the third time in his career.
