Joshua faces a tough challenge

Heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua is set to face off against Otto Wallin in a highly anticipated bout in Saudi Arabia on December 23. However, fears are growing that Joshua may have bitten off more than he can chew by choosing Wallin as his opponent.

Wallin's impressive performance against Tyson Fury

Wallin previously fought Tyson Fury in 2019 and left the Gypsy King with a nasty gash over his eye. Many believe that Wallin was unlucky to lose the bout, as he came close to ending Fury's fight. With a record of 26-1, Wallin is eager to extend his winning streak against Joshua.

Concerns from fellow boxer Jarrell Miller

Heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller, who was previously scheduled to fight Joshua in 2019 before testing positive for banned substances, has expressed his concerns about Joshua's choice of opponent. Miller believes that Wallin is a durable fighter who will come prepared for a tough battle. He questions whether Joshua's mental state will hold up and whether he will bring the same level of intensity that he does when fighting in the UK.

A level playing field in Saudi Arabia

Much like Joshua, Wallin will be fighting on the same card as his rival, Deontay Wilder, who will be taking on Joseph Parker. If both Joshua and Wilder emerge victorious from their respective bouts, a clash between the two heavyweights is expected in the Middle East early next year. Miller suggests that the playing field in Saudi Arabia will be more even, making the outcome of Joshua's fight with Wallin even more uncertain.

It remains to be seen whether Joshua has indeed made a mistake in selecting Wallin as his opponent. Boxing fans around the world will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of this epic showdown.
