48 seconds – then the match was decided.
When Swedish heavyweight boxer Otto Wallin met Nigeria's Onoriode Ehwarieme in Atlantic City last night Swedish time, he won by knockout already in the first minute, writes boxinginsider.com.
The victory was quickly earned. Wallin landed a thunderous left on his opponent Ehwarieme, whereupon the referee intervened and stopped the match.
Wallin had his first big match since the heavy loss to Briton Anthony Joshua in December last year.
I'm just trying to go out and not be merciless. A comeback with a knockout in the first round, it always feels good, says Wallin to boxinginsider.
I'm still one of the best, and I think I showed that now.
The 33-year-old Sundsvall-born Otto Wallin is ranked twelfth in the world ranking.
