Their fight will be the main event of a large-scale boxing evening in Riyadh, which will take place this Saturday, December 23.
“I wouldn’t call this fight perfect. Joshua is trying to prepare for a fight with Wilder, why does he need a southpaw? I don't 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,” Froch said in an interview with TNT.
