Anthony Joshua fights for the third time this year tonight as he takes on Otto Wallin in the hopes of setting up a Deontay Wilder clash.
'AJ' looks to go three and three for the year after winning an unconvincing decision against Jermaine Franklin in April and brutally knocking out Robert Helenius in August. The former two-time heavyweight champion has already agreed terms to fight Wilder on March 9, as the American is also in action on the Saudi Arabia event against Joseph Parker.
Wallin is no slouch and has only been beaten by heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in his 28-fight professional career. The Swede arguably could have won that fight as Fury suffered a nasty cut above his eye but the ringside doctor refused to call it off. Wallin is unbeaten since his loss to Fury, so here's all you need to know about his clash with Joshua...

Quotes cornerJoshua : "I can definitely window shop, I know where I'm going in my life. If I don't get past this there is no future. I want to fight. I want to perform well. Put that pressure on myself. I'm here to fight, I'm not here to party and get caught up in the glitz and glamour. I'm happy, I'm jovial. This is the best fight card in history and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world. If my prayers are answered I'll get the win. I'm making sure it's not just prayer, I'm following it up with actions."
Wallin : "Of course I'm nervous, it's a big fight, a big opportunity, but I'm ready for it. I've worked very hard to be here and now it's time to enjoy the moment and win the fight and move on. People talking about upsets, I'm going to win the fight and you shouldn't call it an upset. It's not really an upset, it's just natural. This is my time so I'm ready for it. I'm just happy to be here. I'm just trying to be myself. People say I talk a lot now but I get asked questions and I just answer them how I feel. I'm not trying to make anything up, it's just the truth. If people like it then fine, if they don't then that's okay too. I'm a tricky southpaw, I'm a good fighter. It's kind of a short notice to this fight. Also, he's got a new trainer, so I think that can be tricky. He's used to be a happy guy but from what I see now he seems very stiff and tense. Maybe he's fed up of all of this stuff."
