Anthony Joshua closed out 2023 in style with a TKO victory over Otto Wallin in the main event of the ‘Day of Reckoning’ boxing event, held in Saudi Arabia on December 23rd.
There were a number of combat sports athletes and other celebrities in attendance for the event, including Joshua’s former opponent, Andy Ruiz.
Ruiz famously defeated ‘AJ’ via TKO in a massive upset in 2019, after accepting the bout a month before they were scheduled to fight. The pair faced off in an immediate rematch later that year, with Anthony Joshua being awarded a unanimous decision victory.
Following the Brit’s victory over Otto Wallin last weekend, he was captured sharing some words with Andy Ruiz ringside in newly released footage. He said this:
Anthony Joshua made it three straight wins in 2023 following his victory over Wallin. But a potential mega-fight with Deontay Wilder, who also competed at the ‘Day of Reckoning’ card, has now been placed in jeopardy following his defeat to Joseph Parker.
