BLAZING SADDLES

New York-based Otto-who bloodied Fury - is ready to give AJ a rough ride, and says: If I win, I might buy a bike....I don't need a flash car in Big Apple!

OTTO WALLIN has been here before, as the warmup act for a Brit before a big-money showdown with Deontay Wilder.

But, for a man who once worked in a mental health hospital for "murderers and paedophiles", it is no daunting task.

Back in 2019, the Swedish heavyweight gave Tyson Fury an almighty fright when he opened up a nasty cut over the Gypsy King's eye (below) and pushed him all the way in Las Vegas.

Now he is hoping to go one step further against Fury's rival Anthony Joshua when he takes on the former world champion in Saudi Arabia next week.

Wallin, 33, is planning the purchase of a new bike with his Middle East millions.

But his journey in boxing was motivated by seeing a Swedish Olympian drive around in a flash car.

"I started out boxing in a basement, it was the gym," said the Swede, who hails from the city of Sundsvall, but now trains in New York.
