Carl Froch Joshua vs Wallin Prediction

Carl Froch certainly knows a thing or two when it comes to the sport of boxing. The former super-middleweight world champion is boxing royalty in the UK, given how success he was in the ring throughout his illustrious career. When it comes to giving an opinion about boxing, people listen to ‘The Cobra’.

Froch of course shared the ring with the likes of the Lucian Bute, Arthur Abraham, Mikkel Kessler, Andre Ward and Jermain Taylor to name but a few. Not to mention his incredible grudge matches against fellow Brit George Groves, with ‘The Cobra’ winning both fights via stoppage.

Now, Carl Froch is still seen regularly attending huge boxing events and is often seen giving his opinion and predictions on the sport. This week is no different with ‘The Cobra’ giving a prediction ahead of the Anthony Joshua vs Otto Wallin main event bout at ‘Day Of Reckoning‘ in Saudi Arabia.

Going into the fight, Anthony Joshua is priced as the 2/7 favourite with the best boxing betting sites to extend his record to 27-3. On the flip side, Otto Wallin is the big underdog, priced at as big as 11/4 with the majority of UK bookmakers.

Carl Froch Backing ‘AJ’ To Just Do Enough To Claim Victory

UK boxing fans can watch the Joshua vs Wallin fight live on pay-per-view, with the main event expected to be at approx. 11.45pm GMT. Despite being the main event, there are no world title belts on the line for Joshua vs Wallin.

For this heavyweight clash in the Saudi Arabian desert between Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin, Carl Froch believes there is every chance that ‘AJ’ could slip up and lose the fight, but is backing his fellow Brit to just do enough and get the job done.

“I do think Otto Wallin has got a chance against Joshua,” said Froch, who has discussed the Joshua vs Wallin fight to great length on his YouTube channel – Froch On Fighting.

“AJ is quite negative and is a bit nervous. If Otto Wallin believes in himself and he sticks it on Anthony Joshua, it could be game over for AJ. If he doesn’t rise to the occasion and meet Wallin with aggression, then this could go wrong. 

“I think Wallin does have a chance, I make AJ a 65/35 favourite, but Wallin has definitely got a chance, so don’t rule anything out, this could be a massive upset.”
