Anthony Joshua defeats Wallin in his third fight of 2023

Anthony Joshua won his third bout of the year on Saturday night, defeating Otto Wallin via TKO.

The fight was advertised as the main event of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s “Day of Reckoning” program.

Joshua had already defeated Jermaine Franklin in April and Robert Helenius in August of 2023.

He strolled to a fifth-round technical knockout against Wallin, who was supposed to be a stiff fight for the Nigerian-British boxer.

Wallin’s sole loss prior to this was in 2019 against Tyson Fury.

Joshua now has a record of 27 wins and three losses, with 24 knockout victories.

Joey Garnache, Wallin’s coach, called a halt to the battle to save his man’s life.
