Former world champion and now expert and commentator Carl Froch stated that he believed Otto Wallina an extremely inconvenient opponent for the former heavyweight leader Anthony Joshua.
Their fight will be the main event of a large-scale boxing evening in Riyadh, which will take place this Saturday, December 23.
āI wouldnāt call this fight perfect. Joshua is trying to prepare for a fight with Wilder, why does he need a southpaw? I don'tĀ think Wallin is the right guy for him. Otto is a left-hander and has not lost since 2019, he is on a six-fight winning streak. In his last fight he won against Gassiev. This is a high-class boxer.
This is not a defining fight, but it is a fight before a huge event, a big money fight with Wilder. In my opinion, this is to some extent a risk, because this fight may not turn out in the best way for Anthony,ā Froch said in an interview with TNT.
