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 retired on his stool 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 was over.

Wallin made himself an easy target for Joshua with his lack of mobility in the ring.
