Otto Wallin (24-1, 14 KOs, 1 NC) of Sweden returns to the ring to take on Helaman Olguin (9-4-1, 4 KOs) of Mexico at the Castleton Banquet and Conference Center in Windham, New Hampshire. The heavyweight contest between the two is set to last eight rounds.
The event will stream live on a pay-per-view for $19.99.
Wallin last fought in May and won a unanimous decision over Rydell Booker which was his fourth win in a row. Earlier the Swedish heavyweight, who is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBO and No. 9 by the WBC, has withdrawn from talks to face British former two-time unified heavyweight champion and old rival Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs). Joshua defeated Wallin by points in the international amateur boxing tournament in 2010.
“I feel great heading into this fight,” said Wallin. “My training has been going great and I’ve done a lot of good sparring leading up to this fight. I’m excited to be fighting in New Hampshire and can’t wait to step into the ring. I can’t overlook Olguin, who is a good fighter, but I don’t think he’s on my level. I know that I can compete and win against any heavyweight in the world, and I’ll make sure that I show why on Friday night.”
In December of last year, Olguin battled with Roney Hines to a majority draw. He had an eight-fight winning streak until Terrell Jamal Woods knocked him out in the first round in August 2021.
