‘Day of Reckoning’: Joshua vs. Wallin – Where to Watch Info
Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin face off in a mega Saudi card dubbed ‘The Day of Reckoning’ this Saturday.
The star-studded line-up includes Deontay Wilder, Dmitry Bivol and much more. Kicking off with the main event, AJ knows he must make a big statement in a fight where he is expected to come through in style.
A victory puts him in a position to face Wilder after both men agreed on a two-fight deal, with the first bout on March 9, 2024. Wallin, a tricky southpaw, will aim to disrupt those plans. He has only come up short against Tyson Fury, and the southpaw stance could trouble AJ, especially since his two losses to Oleksandr Usyk.
In the co-main event, Wilder faces the former WBO heavyweight champion Joseph Parker. Wilder’s last fight ended with a knockout of Robert Helenius. The Bronze Bomber has 43 wins, and 42 of those were by knockout.
The aim will be to do the same, but Parker is a former sparring partner of Fury, which adds an intriguing dynamic. Dmitry Bivol also defends his WBA light heavyweight title for the 11th time against Lyndon Arthur. Bivol knows a victory is another step closer to becoming undisputed, with a potential fight against Artur Beterbiev. Here is everything you need to know about where to watch the fight.

Comments
“It will be tough, but it will be good. I’m ready, I do want to hurt him. That’s a fact. There are no games here, I do want to hurt him. [He can present] a lot of problems, but that’s high-level competition. I won’t go over everything I’ve been studying about him, but let’s just say he’s got a good mindset. He’s spoken a lot, so you know where his head’s at, he’s game. That’s good enough to bring the best out of me,” Joshua stated
“I feel like I’ve shown in the past that I’m a good fighter. I gave Fury a very good fight, and I take pride in my work. I’ve been working very hard to come to this place where I’m at now, and I’m just here ready to take full advantage of this opportunity. I think, one, he hasn’t really looked the same, and I’ve gotten better,” Wallin revealed
“When people come to see heavyweight boxers, they come to see the knockout. I thank God that I’m blessed with a blessing and a curse in a right hand that I can deliver and give people what they pay their hard-earned money to see,” Wilder said
“Any heavyweight can knockout any heavyweight. I think any fighter can knock out any fighter. It depends on the punch, placement, and the right time. I know everyone is talking about Deontay Wilder’s knockout power and rightly so, he’s knocked out everyone he’s fought except Tyson Fury, but I can knock people out myself,” Joseph Parker
