Ricky Hatton Joshua vs Wallin Prediction
Ricky Hatton certainly knows a thing or two when it comes to the sport of boxing. The former two-weight 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 Ricky Hatton.
Hatton of course shared the ring with the likes of the great Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Not to mention his crowning night when he defeated the fearsome Kostya Tszyu against all odds and solidified himself as one of the best fighters in the world.
Now, Ricky Hatton 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 Hitman’ 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.
Ricky Hatton Backing ‘AJ’ To Win Via Late KO/TKO
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, Ricky Hatton is well and truly buzzing to watch it and is backing his fellow Brit to get the job done and set up a huge fight next year with Deontay Wilder.
In a recent interview with British Boxing News, ‘The Hitman’ admitted it will be a really tough fight, but that Joshua will come away with his hand raised:
“This is a great fight for AJ. Wallin is a tough opponent and just what AJ needs if he is to face Wilder or Fury down the line. Wallin has only lost the once and that was on points to Fury when he caused Tyson all sorts of problems.
“I think Wallin will be hungry for the rematch [with Tyson Fury] and will be looking to make a statement, but I don’t see him beating AJ. I think AJ will be too powerful for him and he will stop Wallin in the later rounds.”
