British-Nigerian born former three times world Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Anthony Joshua, on Saturday morning in Saudi Arabia via severe hard punches dismissed his Swedish Opponent, Otto Walin when his side threw in the towel refusing appearance to box in the 6th round.
The submission that increased AJ’s record to 27 wins and three defeats however put the Boxing world in a limbo as the Bronze Bomber, Deontay Wilder who fought on the same ring same night was out punched by his own opponent, Joseph Parker in a stunner throwing an arranged duel for next March between AJ and the Bronze Bomber into the winds.
It was obvious that Walin was a mismatch to AJ who came like a terribly wounded Lion with a mindset of beat Walin silly or perish as former Olympic Champ AJ trademark hard punches drew blood from Walin’s nose in round 2.
The lethal punches bounced off Walin from his feet only to be saved by the ropes going into a devastating 5th round when he was caught by AJ’s left hook but the bell saved him and seeing the effects of the collateral damage, Walin’s handler, Joey Gamache buckled and threw in the towel.
An elated AJ grinning like a school boy who ran to the park for a boxing stint said it is just one of those nights to punch a boy to submission but encouraged Walin to put his acts together as he could still come back to reckoning.
The Bronze Bomber looked like an overused Donkey panting heavily as Joseph Parker earned a unanimous decision of 118-111; 118-110 and 120-108 from the ring side Judges.
Wilder was bad in the 4th round as he fell and Parker was an obvious better man with power punches.
Former WBO Champ Parker became the second man to detonate the Bronze Bomber after Tyson Fury thereby getting a lifeline for another shot at the world title again.
