Hearn explains how Joshua must act to beat Wallin

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 13, 2023, 3:49 a.m.

Promoter of the former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua Eddie Hearn said his fighter needs to be aggressive in his upcoming fight against Otto Wallina.

“When we say that Joshua has problems with left-handers, we mean that he had problems with Alexander Usyk, who is perhaps the number one pound-for-pound ranking. However, Wallin is good. They've sparred before. AJ beat him in the amateurs, but that was a long time ago.

Yes, ideally you don't really want to fight a southpaw, but Joshua will have to deal with Otto Wallin. And we have enough faith in AJ’s skills that he will take this fight and win. But this won't be easy. He needs to be aggressive in this fight. I believe he will stop Wallin,” Hearn said.

Let us remind you that Joshua and Wallin will fight on December 23 in Riyadh.
