Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua defeated Swede Otto Wallin in the main fight of the boxing evening, which took place on the night of December 24 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The fight ended in AJ's triumph after five rounds, as Wallin's team refused to continue the fight.
From the very beginning of the confrontation, the Briton seized the initiative and inflicted powerful and accurate blows on his opponent. The fifth round turned out to be the most successful for Joshua – after missing several times to the head, the Swede barely waited for the gong.
