Otto Wallin Takes Aim At Tyson Fury, Claims He’s Difficult To Work With
Otto Wallin has taken aim at Tyson Fury.
Wallin boxed Fury back in 2019 and still is his only career loss. Since the defeat, he has talked about wanting to get a rematch. However, the rematch hasn’t happened as Tyson Fury is after the Oleksandr Usyk fight but Otto Wallin claims Fury is tough to deal with and get a fight made.
“Now, I’m not involved in these negotiations that he’s dealing with, of course, but if you look from the outside, it seems like Fury is playing around too much and making everything more difficult,” Wallin told Rekatochklart. “He (Fury) is surely difficult to work with; he contradicts himself all the time on Instagram and in interviews. To me, it seems like Fury is the one who’s the problem. Usyk, whom he was supposed to face, already has a match; he’s going to fight Danny Dubois in August. Fury still hasn’t boxed – he fought against Derek Chisora in December, he could have easily had at least one fight already and defended his title.
“But he hasn’t. He keeps saying that he has tried to set up fights with everyone, but no one wants to fight him,” Wallin continued. “I don’t think anyone believes him when he says that. He seems very difficult to work with if I’m being honest. I think he’s the one throwing a spanner in the works for himself.”
According to Otto Wallin, he says as long as Tyson Fury can call his shots and doesn’t get forced into any fight, nothing will change.
“With Fury it’s different. He’s in a position where there’s only one like him. There are a lot of fighters in my position. As long as he isn’t forced to take certain fights, it will be difficult to get a rematch against him planned. I really want to, but he can choose whoever he wants. He’ll pick fights where he can make the most money with as low risk as possible. That could be fighting against the likes of Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou,” Wallin said.
As of right now, Wallin is riding a five-fight win streak and is coming off a decision win over Helaman Olguin.
