After the fight, Otto was hospitalized
Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin (26–2, 11 KO) suffered a broken nose in a fight with a former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua (27–3, 23 KOs). After the fight, the Swede was taken to a hospital in Saudi Arabia.
Joshua confidently defeated Wallin on the night from Saturday to Sunday as part of the “Day of Reckoning” boxing evening in Saudi Arabia. The Swede refused to continue the fight after the 5th round.
Before the Joshua-Wallin fight, another headlining fight took place as part of the “Day of Reckoning” boxing evening in Riyadh. In it, New Zealander Joseph Parker sensationally but deservedly defeated former world champion Deontay Wilder by unanimous decision.
It was previously assumed that Joshua and Wilder could fight together in the spring of 2024 – however, provided that both defeat their opponents in Riyadh on December 23. It was reported that the boxers agreed on a fight on March 9. Now this fight is a big question mark.
