Who’s next for Otto Wallin?

After a satisfying victory over the ‘Trouble’, Wallin will be keen on bagging a fight with top-10 heavyweights. Throughout his extensive career, the Swede hasn’t fought for the heavyweight world title.

Beating an opponent as experienced as Breazeale will only fill Wallin with immense confidence. His win will make him a viable name that the aforementioned ranked boxers would want to take on. Wallin can stylistically matchup with enormous big-wigs like Kubrat Pulev, Luis Ortiz, or Dillian Whyte.
