Preview: Anthony Joshua vs. Otto Wallin, plus undercard

Boxing events being staged two days before Christmas Day are an extremely rare occurrence, but the card that has been set for Saturday night means that it is Christmas come early for boxing fans.

The occasion in Saudi Arabia, which is largely being promoted by Queensberry, is following on from the success of the cross-over fight involving Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou a little short of two months ago.

An eight-fight card, dubbed 'The Day of Reckoning', is being headlined by the showdown between Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin, with the chief-support being provided by Deontay Wilder's clash with Joseph Parker.

Among the boxing fraternity, the hope is that Joshua and Wilder both prevail from their respective bouts to set up at least . . .
