The heavyweight division in boxing is fairly stacked these days, with another big fight seemingly always just around the corner.
This weekend sees the mercurial Tyson Fury take on heavy underdog Otto Wallin in Las Vegas as Fury continues his comeback to the sport.
Fury has previous in Sin City, having previously knocked out Tom Schwartz in June of this year.
Wallin goes in to the fight as a huge underdog, but boasts an impressive 20 wins from 21 fights (1 no contest) with 13 KOs, and is ranked number 4 by the WBA in their heavyweight rankings.
We have seen a British heavyweight succumb to a shock loss in recent history, but Fury has insisted that he “won’t underestimate anybody” ahead of the fight.

Our Prediction
Despite Wallin’s stellar record and ranking, he is not expected to pull up any trees as the Swede lacks experience at the peak of the division. Fury is unlikely to toy with a lesser opponent - he knocked out Schwartz in round 2 - so this fight should be over inside the first five rounds.

"I have lightning reflexes for a giant. I am a giant of a heavyweight, there has never been a heavyweight like me and there has never been a heavyweight who can move like that.
"I'm a freak of nature, I defy every law of gravity, it shouldn't be possible for a man of my height and weight to move like that.
"I can beat them all."
Find me a more confident boxer. I dare you.
“He wasn't ill. He had diabetes, problems with his feet and stuff. He died of a heart attack, it was probably related to the diabetes when he said it but I don't know why. Maybe he felt something or maybe not.
“I've just been trying to keep going like he said. Even the day after he passed away I was in the gym working out. I was thinking about him. It was hard to keep it together, I was almost crying on and off but I got through it. I stayed in the gym and it has paid off.”
