John Fury Could See Otto Wallin Upsetting Anthony Joshua

John Fury believes Otto Wallin could defeat Anthony Joshua on Saturday in Saudi Arabia.

In the main event of the pay-per-view card, Joshua is set to take on Wallin in a pivotal fight for the heavyweight division. Meanwhile, he has already agreed to box Deontay Wilder on March 9 which only adds to the intrigue of that matchup.

Heading into the fight, Anthony Joshua is the betting favorite to defeat Otto Wallin on Saturday night. Although many believe Joshua will get his hand raised, John Fury, the father and trainer of Tyson Fury believes Wallin has the tools to get the win and upset the Brit.

“I’m not so sure again about the people around him, the managing side, picking a man like Wallin. He would give anybody a problem, he’s a 6ft 5in southpaw, a good game kid and has one of the best trainers in the world in his corner in Joey Gamache,” John Fury told Boxing Social.

“At the end of the day, it’s an uphill battle let’s put it that way. Can AJ pull it off? He can. But he’s going to get tested like he has never been tested before. I think if I was looking after him I wouldn’t have picked Wallin, no. When AJ is like he is, he’s on a comeback trail, he’s had a few setbacks, you want a confidence builder. And this ain’t a confidence builder, this is a bloody hard fight,” Fury continued.

Anthony Joshua enters the fight coming off a first-round knockout win over Robert Helenius back in August. Before that, he beat Jermaine Franklin by decision to snap his two-fight losing streak to Oleksandr Usyk.
