Groves: Wallin could be a tough opponent for Joshua

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 11, 2023, 6:53 p.m.

Former world super middleweight champion George Groves shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the former holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF belts in the heavyweight division Anthony Joshua And Otto Wallin.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what exactly Joshua has in store with Ben Davison and how this fight pans out. Otto Wallin may turn out to be a difficult opponent; the fight may turn out to be difficult. People probably draw conclusions about Joshua by looking back at his fights with Usyk, but Alexander is not an easy fighter.

The fight against Wallin, another southpaw, may prove to be a tough challenge. I can’t imagine any other outcome other than Joshua winning, but you never really know,” Groves said in an interview with Seconds Out.
