IBF #11 heavyweight Otto Wallin (26-2, 14 KOs) will return in an eight-rounder on July 26 at the Tropicana Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Wallin will face 6’7 Onoriode “Godzilla” Ehwarieme (20-4, 19 KOs), a 2008 Olympian.
Also on the show are heavyweight Bruce Seldon Jr. (1-0, 1 KO), son of former heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon, unbeaten junior middleweight Justin “Mr. Atlantic City” Figueroa (9-0, 7 KOs) in separate fights against TBAs.
Fans at the show can meet ring legend Micky Ward, who fought 22 times in Atlantic City, including two of his epic battles with Arturo Gatti.
Good card and reason to stop by AC – looking forward to it. Didn’t realize Ward fought there 22x
Yeah, Mickey Ward fought most of his major fights in the big venue there. Not sure I see Wallin fighting a guy who’s lost to anyone with a pulse worth making a trip. But if you’re gonna be there anyway, boxing is always fun.
I’m not sure Wallin is that good.
He’s good enough that Fury stayed away from a rematch.
Yeah, he’s not really that good, but with the current state of boxing he’s a good matchup for most of the top guys.
Bruce Seldon Jr is only 1-0? I thought he turned pro a long time ago, like more than 15 years ago? Must have been another son. Is he too one of those guys that names his kids all the same name?
Ok, just did my “research”. The other son was Isiah Seldon and fought as a Super Middle from 2010-2022 and had a record of 14-6-1. It’s hard to keep with all these guys and their sons fighting.
Wallin quit against AG, I would rather watch something else than Wallin again.
It was his trainer Joey Gamache who stopped the fight way to early. Unfortunately Gamache is unable to seperate his own career and Wallins. As you remember he was nearly killed by a much to big Arturo Gatti in his last fight. Too bad for Wallin!
Wallin threw the fight against Joshua. He didn’t even try to throw a single punch. I hope they paid him enough to do that. I don’t suppose he’ll do it again.
Nicklass, that Gatti Knockout of Gamache, top 15 KO of all time, absolutely brutal.
Gamache was out before he hit a 10 degree angle.
