Swedish heavyweight boxer Otto Wallin has once again criticized British boxing superstar Anthony Joshua ahead of their upcoming fight in Saudi Arabia. Wallin, who is set to face Joshua on Saturday, believes that his opponent is on the "decline" and is now "afraid of getting hit and of losing" following his losses to Oleksandr Usyk. Wallin has been vocal about his belief that Joshua has lost his confidence and momentum, making this the perfect time for him to take on the British boxer.
Wallin claims decline in Joshua's confidence and momentum
According to Wallin, Joshua has lost his confidence and momentum, which is evident in his recent performances. The Swedish boxer believes that Joshua is now hesitant and afraid of getting hit and losing. Wallin also mentioned that Joshua is aware of his vulnerabilities, and this is holding him back in the ring. Wallin sees this decline as an opportunity for him to come out on top in their upcoming fight.
Wallin describes Joshua as mentally fragile
Wallin has previously described Joshua as "mentally fragile," pointing to his decision to change coaches multiple times in recent years. The Swedish boxer believes that this decision could be a problem for Joshua, as constantly switching trainers is often seen as a negative sign in the boxing world. Wallin, on the other hand, has had the same trainer for 10 years and feels that their strong bond and trust in each other will give him an advantage in the fight.
Perfect timing for Wallin to face AJ
Wallin believes that now is the perfect time for him to face Joshua. He mentioned that Joshua started his career as a dominant force, knocking out opponents and feeling invincible. However, following losses to Andy Ruiz and Oleksandr Usyk, Wallin claims that Joshua now knows he is vulnerable and doesn't like getting hit or hurt. The Swedish boxer believes this vulnerability, along with the pressure and criticism Joshua faces, will work in his favor during their fight.
Wallin's confidence and criticism towards Joshua have set the stage for an intriguing matchup on Saturday. Boxing fans will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of this highly anticipated fight between the two heavyweights.
