Wallin: "Joshua Is Really Aggressive"

In an interview with Pro Boxing Fans, Swedish heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) Otto Wallin (26-2, 14 KOs) commented on Anthony Joshua's (28-3, 25 KOs) resounding victory over former UFC champion Francis Ngannou (0-2, 0 KOs).

"I think Joshua did a great job. He came out and was really aggressive. Credit to Ngannou, he's a good fighter. If he had been fighting someone else, he might have won. I guess Joshua was on another level and performed very well.

Did I expect a knockout in the second round? No, it was hard to predict because Ngannou has only had one boxing match against Fury. I felt Joshua would win, felt he would knock him out, but he really did a great job," said Wallin.

The bout between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou took place on March 8 in Saudi Arabia. In the first round, Joshua sent his opponent to the canvas. In the second, the Brit finished the confrontation by sending his opponent to a second knockdown, then finishing him off with a single punch.

Last December, Otto Wallin faced Anthony Joshua, where he lost, refusing to come out for the 6th round.
