Otto Wallin thinks there is a “perfect” opportunity for him to beat Anthony Joshua this weekend.

The Swedish heavyweight takes on two-time world champion Joshua on Sunday in Saudi Arabia as part of the 'Day of Reckoning' event.

Joshua is hoping a win will set up a 2024 clash with Deontay Wilder, but Wallin is a more than credible opponent and best known for running Tyson Fury close in a 2019 defeat.

Wallin’s most recent fight was in September this year, when he defeated former cruiser weight world champion Murat Gassiev by split decision in Turkey.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Wallin says he has the power to “hurt” Joshua, stating he hurt Fury, Gassiev, and can do the same to Joshua.

He says they know each other pretty well from sparring when they were amateurs.

Otto Wallin will face off with Anthony Joshua while Deontay Wilder will square up against Joseph Parker on Sunday.
