The Swedish boxing star named the best heavyweight and made a prediction for the Usyk – Fury fight
The 33-year-old Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin (26-1, 14 KO) shared his perspective on the best boxer in the heavyweight division.
"I believe that a bout with Fury would prove more challenging than a contest with Anthony Joshua. I consider Tyson the pre-eminent heavyweight globally. He did not look at his best in his last match, but I am confident Fury had his reasons for that. Currently, I believe he is the best heavyweight on the planet.
I give preference to Fury in a match against Usyk. Perhaps, Oleksander will give him a good fight, but Fury is the superior contender. I provided him with a formidable contest. I will demonstrate to Joshua that I am indeed a high-caliber fighter, and I will defeat him," stated Wallin in an interview with the YouTube channel TNT Sports Boxing.
The Joshua-Wallin bout is scheduled for December 23 in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the contract includes a provision for a rematch.
