Otto Wallin (25-1, 14 KOs) set his sights on a rematch with Tyson Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) after his defeat in September 2019. And maybe now is the best opportunity for him to achieve such a revenge.

The 'King of the Gypsies' wants to return with a passing fight before a possible unification of all belts with Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs). As you know, Usyk is left-handed, and there are few strong heavyweights fighting in the right-handed stance, and Vallin is one of them. The fight and previous sparring with southpaws would have better prepared Fury for a possible encounter with Usyk.

“I would like such a revenge. I believe that this time I could perform much better than the first time. I have made progress, gained experience at longer distances and become much smarter in the ring so I can box better. No one can tell Tyson what to do and I'm not sure he knows what he wants to do, but I want to tell him that I want and I'm ready to fight. I believe I can beat him this time,” said Wallin, who is now on a five-fight winning streak.
