Otto Wallin (26-2, 14 KOs) admitted in an interview with Boxing News that he had changed his view on a possible fight between Anthony Joshua (27-3, 24 KOs) and Tyson Fury (34-0-1, 24 KOs) after spending several rounds in the ring with AJ on December 23.

“It’s hard for me to decide now. I think Fury is a very good fighter and I think he can recover from his last fight. It would be a good fight, but we’ll see what happens to Joshua now,” said the Swede, who was stopped by AJ after the fifth round.

“Joshua can do some good things with [trainer] Ben Davison, and Ben knows Tyson well. I don’t even know... there are a lot of variables here. I always said Fury would win, but after the Joshua fight I look at it a little differently. It’s hard to bet against Fury, but after this fight I changed my mind a little,” admitted Otto Wallin.
