In a series of bouts held at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Anthony Joshua secured a victory in his third match of the year. Joshua, who had faced consecutive defeats against Oleksandr Usyk, triumphed over Otto Wallin by stopping him in the fifth round with a knockout. This marked Joshua’s third consecutive win, signaling a successful rebound from his previous setbacks against Usyk.

Post the victory, Joshua was seen celebrating with his pals, former champion Tony Bellew and the British boxer, Derek Chisora. Both the boxers have stood in support of Joshua, with Bellew even predicting the results almost accurately.

He kept calling Bellew “Teddy T”, claiming it to be his rap name. The three were having a great time as they shared laughter. Chisora asked Bellew to “drop a bar” from his rap as Bellew tried to hide his face to save himself from Chisora’s humorous teasing.
