Tyson Fury defeated Otto Wallin in a brutal battle
Otto Wallin wants to prove he is “worthy of a relaunch” with Tyson Fury and intends to “break down” Dominic Breazeale in their heavyweight show.
The Swedish fighter is back in action against Breazeale on February 20, with Wallin trying to push his way back into the world title fight after losing his unbeaten record in a bloody points loss with Tyson Fury in 2019.
Breazeale ‘s only two defenses have reached the world title stage against Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, and Wallin hopes to raise his status with a devastating impact on California.

“Breazeale is a great name and a game man and I hope by hitting him I will solidify my vision at the top,” said Wallin Sky Sports.
“I always have to be sharp and break it down and once I see the opportunity I will be ready to take it out.
“He was hanging in there with Joshua and he showed a lot of heart and grit, but in the end it was unusual.
“With Wilder it was such a short fight so there’s not much to take away from him, but Breazeale hurt Wilder before he found himself.
“His style is to throw heavy shots and I believe he’s going to come out and try to put pressure on him and be aggressive with me. Luckily I’m a tough guy with good skills and A neat team with a good game plan so there are going to be plenty of opportunities for me to take advantage of it. “

Wallin admits his immediate goal is to get over Breazeale, in a fight that could put the winner up in the rankings, but he hopes to finally win the second fight against Fury, WBC champion.
“My dream is to fight and win the world title so for now I have to keep fighting and improving so when I get the bullet I will be ready to catch it with both my hands, “Wallin said.
“Replacing Tyson Fury is not my priority but I hope to get another look at it.
“I have to keep fighting and winning and show that I deserve to be relegated and when the time comes I am ready to go in and hit. “
Fury is set to face the next fight against Anthony Joshua, with the world heavyweight titles involved, and Wallin has backed his old foe to emerge as the region’s No. 1 champion. .

“I think AJ against Fury is the fight to be done. I want to see and the world wants to see,” he said.
“They are the two best heavyweight scenes in the world right now and we have to fight that.
“I’ve been watching AJ’s fight with Breazeale recently and AJ is in good style and has the tools to beat Fury but I’m not sure what confidence AJ has in himself.
“I think Fury has a strong mind and good confidence and sometimes that’s more important than anything. That’s why I believe Fury would win.”
