Anthony Joshua Gears Up for Pivotal Showdown with Otto Wallin in Riyadh

As the boxing world turns its attention to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Anthony Joshua is on the precipice of a critical bout against Otto Wallin this Saturday night. The former two-time world heavyweight champion is adamant about keeping his focus razor-sharp for the upcoming challenge and not allowing thoughts of future fights to cloud his immediate objectives.

Joshua, at 34, is in pursuit of his third victory in 2023, following a unanimous decision win against Jermaine Franklin Jr in April and a seventh-round stoppage of Robert Helenius in August. The Riyadh clash holds immense significance for Joshua's ambitions of reclaiming the heavyweight throne.

Weighing in at 17st 13lbs, nearly 13lbs heavier than Wallin, Joshua emphasizes the importance of the impending showdown. "Without Saturday night, there is no future. Saturday night I've been saying all week is my main focus. Whatever happens in the ring, I know that's where my heart is. I need to get this win," asserts Joshua.

As discussions swirl around potential future matchups, including the much-discussed bout against Deontay Wilder, who shares the same fight card against Joseph Parker, Joshua remains steadfast in his dedication to the present moment. The British boxer underscores his commitment, stating, "I'm a serious fighter, I'm a serious businessman, I've got a great team behind me and they're handling business. As I always say, let me focus on what I've got to focus on."

With three career losses, including the memorable defeat to Andy Ruiz in 2019 and subsequent losses to Oleksandr Usyk, Joshua is eager to silence any doubts about his prowess. While Wallin predicts a "new king" emerging on Saturday night, Joshua's determination and focus make it clear that he is poised to make a resounding statement in Riyadh and shape his trajectory in the heavyweight division.
