What's next for him? Read that he might fight Simon Kean. Who? Also, he's still fighting some 8 rounders, not sure why.
Unfortunately for Otto, he's a high risk, low reward opponent. That's what's next for him. He needs to be fighting someone in the top 10, or close to it. But most of them either can get better $$$ fights or don't want to take the risk. So he's left looking for lower caliber opponents. 2 months short of 4 years since his Fury bout, he's had 5 fights vs. low to mediocre opponents. Now 32, he's wasting his career, but doesn't appear to be (mostly) his fault. Tough break when he was scheduled to face Whyte in 2021. But then Whyte called it off 10 days before fight date when he supposedly injured his shoulder. So what happened to that fight? Why not postpone the bout, let the shoulder heal, and fight at a later date.
I liked him even before the Fury fight but it is time to give up on him. Through no fault of his own, he will never get good fights. Probably land one when he is 39 and past it and get KOd in 1.
I think he will be in a good fights soon. I think Whyte may very well fight him after the AJ fight. AJ may very well fight him after the Wilder fight as well. Won't be surprise with a Wilder fight as well. Currently he is not a good pick for any of the guys, cause AJ is looking for a Wilder, and there is not much sense to fighting southpaw. Same for Wilder.
Otto is content doing what he is doing....fighting tomato cans. He's also from a country without a big boxing pedigree and not affiliated with a big name promoter either so he's got two doors closed on him already. He should have been more vocal post the Fury fight but like I said before he is just happy to be on cruise control hoping to luck into a big fight again.
I agree with a lot of this, but he was also trying his hardest to queue jump for a pay day. He was vocal, but he was just targeting the wrong people. He always had the top 5 in his mouth but didn't seem so interested in fighting his way up through the fighters ranked 6 through 30. Much like most of the division, to be honest.
Wallin should really be fighting Usyk for undisputed as he beat Tyson Fury’s ass and sliced him up in the process
His best night was a defeat to fury although almost any other fighter he would have won as the fight would have got stopped by the doctors due to that cut. It’s a shame in this sport that if your high risk low reward you get stuck in no man’s land while everything moves on away from you. Too many belts, too many decision left to the fighters, at a certain level the organisations need to be strict and enforce fights, system needs redesigned.
