Anthony Joshua joins Saudi prince, to fight Otto Wallin Dec. 23

Posted : 14 November 2023
British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua is gearing up for a comeback, set to step into the Saudi Arabian ring for the first time since his bout with Oleksandr Usyk in 2022. The seasoned fighter has agreed to face Otto Wallin in this historic event scheduled for December 23 in Saudi Arabia.

Reports suggest that Deontay Wilder is also on the card, scheduled to go up against Joseph Parker on the same night. Originally, the much-anticipated undisputed heavyweight title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk was planned for the same date in Riyadh. However, it has been pushed to February due to Fury's recent bout with Francis Ngannou in October.

Despite this delay, Saudi Arabian boxing administrators are working to organize an exciting boxing night just before Christmas. Turki Alalshikh, from Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, who played a key role in arranging Fury vs. Ngannou, is currently finalizing contracts for Joshua and Wilder.

While Joshua and Wilder are slated for a matchup in 2024, they will engage in separate fights on the December bill. The headline event is expected to showcase a thrilling bout between Wallin and Anthony Joshua, assuming all agreements are sealed this week. Wallin, a Swedish southpaw with an impressive record of 26 wins in 28 professional fights, had a notable bout with Fury in 2019, showcasing his skills despite a decision loss.

In the co-main event, Wilder will face Parker, the former WBO champion. Wilder, having participated in only one round of boxing in the last two years, aims to make a strong comeback after his knockout victory against Robert Helenius in October of the previous year, marking his return from three consecutive losses to Fury.
