"Tense and nervous." Wallin praised Joshua's behavior at the press conference

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 8, 2023, 2:43 a.m.

Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin spoke out about the behavior of the former unified division champion Briton Anthony Joshua during the debut press conference ahead of their bout on December 23 in Riyadh.

“Anthony was very tough, tense and nervous. This was nothing like the guy I knew before. This time he seemed unsure of himself.

Joshua is the kind of guy who can take things too seriously and take things to heart. He told me not to approach him to shake hands. I replied that I was not here to make friends. It does not matter. I will do my best to win. If he doesn’t want to shake hands, that’s fine,” Boxing News quotes Wallin as saying.
