Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) does not hide the fact that he does not like to fight with left-handers, but after two losses from Usyk, he may again choose a fighter with a right-handed stance. There are currently several candidates for a meeting with the British: Zhang Zhilei (24-1-1, 19 KOs), Demsey McKean (22-0, 14 KOs) and Otto Wallin (24-1, 14 KOs). Each of them is almost two meters tall and boxing in a left-handed stance. Joshua's return is tentatively scheduled for April 1st in London.
“His choice of opponent will show how serious Joshua is about a quick return to the heavyweight elite. He can effectively beat someone like McKean, even training alone at home, without a coach. With such a fight, he would not have proved anything, ”Vallin believes.
“Otto is willing and ready to fight against Joshua on April 1st. If Fury meets Usyk, such a fight will be very reasonable and rational. Otto wants a rematch with Fury, and he believes that a victory over Joshua will help him achieve a rematch, ”added Wallin’s promoter Dmitry Salita.
