Anthony Joshua recorded a fifth round technical knockout win against Swedish heavyweight Otto Wallin in Saudi Arabia.

It is now three straight wins for Joshua since his back-to-back defeats to Oleksandr Usyk.

Joshua came out positively from the opening bell, putting immediate pressure on Wallin and making use of his right hand.

Through a few rounds, Joshua had bloodied the nose of Wallin, but he was not putting any combinations together, instead opting to pot-shot his opponent.

But, in round five this all changed, as Joshua landed a thunderous right hand-left hook combination that sent Wallin stumbling back against the ropes.

Joshua followed up with a brutal barrage of punches, but the swede survived and made it back to his corner at the end of the round.
