TYSON FURY'S ex-rival Otto Wallin is looking to fight Anthony Joshua in the new year, after Oleksandr Usyk's defeat.
AJ was unable to beat Usyk in 12 rounds, which were won by the Ukrainian via split decision.
After the defeat to Oleksandr Uzyk by Tyson Fury, Otto Wallin, Tyson Fury's ex-rival, wants to fight Anthony Joshua in this year's fight
Wallin believes that defeating AJ could earn him a rematch against Fury
Wallin, a Swedish slugger who took on Fury for 2019 believes it makes sense that AJ face him in December.
After their Las Vegas bloodfest, Fury almost saw Wallin go after 12 rounds. It was a unanimous decision.
Wallin, 31 years old, believes the British public know he can take on Joshua. He views Joshua as the best route to a rematch against the Gypsy King.
Wallin was previously fought twice by AJ as an amateur - both times AJ won.
Wallin said to OLBG via boxing scene, "It makes a lot sense for Joshua and me to fight each other."
"People in the UK are familiar with me because I gave Fury one of the most difficult fights of his career, and they support me a lot."
"I am always training and improving and I can't WAIT to go to the UK to earn my right to Fury by defeating Anthony Joshua."
Wallin will need to wait in line for Fury to give him a chance.
Joshua's conqueror Usyk is trying to lure the Gyspy King from retirement so Wallin can have a peek in.
After defeating AJ in Saudi Arabia, Usyk didn't waste any time letting everyone know his intentions. He immediately called Fury out.
Fury refused to accept the offer of the Ukrainian hero. Fury even said he would hang up his gloves.
Fury will take on Usyk to become the undisputed champion of the world heavyweight division - provided there is PS125million.
Fury defeated Wallin on points, but suffered a massive gash above his eyes that almost saw the fight called off.
