ANTHONY JOSHUA vs OTTO WALLIN
Heavyweight Main Event:
Anthony Joshua is an English fighter who has a professional boxing record of 26-3, with 23 of his 26 wins being by knockout. After consecutive losses to Usyk in 2021 and 2022 respectively, Joshua is got back on track when he picked up a decision win over Jermine Franklin Jr in April. Since then, Joshua has had 1 fight where he faced off against Robert Helenius in August, winning via a round 7 knockout.
With Joshua’s improvement in his form he will enter this fight as the favourite amongst the betting markets and he is expected to get the job done.
Otto Wallin is a Swedish fighter who has a professional boxing record of 26-1 with 14 of his 26 wins being by knockout. After pushing Tyson Fury to the limits in 2019 and taking a narrow defeat, Wallin has not lost a fight since then and he is sitting on a 6-fight win streak. With 4 of these wins being by decision. In his most recent fight which took place in September, he took on Murat Gassiev and won by split decision.
Although he boasts an impressive record, he will enter this bout as the underdog. With these 2 meeting twice as amateurs and Wallin losing both times, he will be hungry for an upset win.

Joshua 1/4
Wallin 3/1
PREDICTION:
I believe that Joshua will once again be too much for Wallin and he will win by knockout between rounds 8-10.
DEONTAY WILDER vs JOSEPH PARKER
Heavyweight Co-main Event:
Deontay Wilder is an American fighter with a lot of experience to his name, he sits on a record of 43-2-1, with Tyson Fury being the only fighter to ruin his record. After a controversial draw in the first fight of their trilogy, Wilder lost the next 2 fights to Fury. He will be entering the ring for the first time since October last year where he took a round 1 knockout win over Robert Helenius.
Due to his experience and impressive career statistics, Wilder will enter the ring as a heavy favourite for this fight.
Joseph Parker, fighting out of New Zealand is also an experienced fighter with a record of 33-3. After a round 11 loss to Joe Joyce in September last year, Parker has managed to turn things around. And out of the 3 fights he has had this year, he has won all of them. His most recent fight against Simon Kean in late October ended in a round 3 knockout win.
Although he enters the ring as the dark horse in the betting for this fight, he is expected to cause Wilder a lot of early trouble and put him under pressure.

Wilder 1/6
Parker 4/1
PREDICTION:
I believe that Parker will withstand Wilder’s strikes for the first few rounds, but Wilder will catch him with a knockout blow between rounds 6-8.
