Former world title contender Otto Wallin returned to the ring on Friday night to face Onoriode Ehwarieme in a scheduled heavyweight bout. The battle, which took place at the Tropicana Atlantic City, was Boxing Insider the promotion aired live on the DAZN streaming service.
A thunderous straight left from southpaw Wallin put Ehwarieme down in the first round. Ehwarieme was brave enough to hit the count, but the referee stepped in and stopped the fight before more damage could be done. While Wallin was the clear favorite going in, the win was clean, loud and quick.
“I’m just trying to go out there, not be reckless,” said the famous fighter afterwards. “Come back (from Anthony Joshua’s defeat) and get a knockout in the first round, it’s always nice.”
“I’m still one of the top guys,” he said, “and I think I’ve shown it now.”
