Anthony Joshua easily handled Otto Wallin with a fifth-round TKO during "The Day of Reckoning" event in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

Joshua won his third straight fight to improve to 27-3 in his career. Otto's corner threw in the towel after the fifth round following a controlling performance by the former unified heavyweight champion.

After a slow start, Joshua began taking control of the fight, landing power punches, weakening Wallin. At one point, Wallin's nose was bloodied, and it was only a matter of time before the bout would be over.

Wallin made himself an easy target for Joshua with his lack of mobility in the ring. Despite his corner telling him to be more aggressive, Wallin could stayed protective, but was unable to stop what was coming.
