Heavyweight contender Otto Wallin is ready and willing to face two-time world champion Anthony Joshua on the proposed date of April 1.

Wallin, among others, are under consideration to face Joshua in his comeback fight.

Some outlets believe Australian heavyweight Demsey McKean is the frontrunner to face Joshua in his return.

The British star hopes to return to his winning ways after suffering back to back decision losses to unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

Wallin's promoter, Dmitriy Salita, stands firm that Joshua must return to the ring against someone who is credible.

"We will see how serious Joshua is about returning to an elite heavyweight level by the level of the opponent he selects. He can beat the likes of McKean in an impressive fashion training by himself," Salita told Sky Sports.

"So a fight with such an opponent will not prove anything as an elite boxer and will not be able to see actual improvements from a new trainer. Joshua has been associated with lots of big names. Is it real? I don't know. Not if he fights a no-name with a glossy record."

The only defeat on Wallin's record, is a tough decision loss to WBC champion Tyson Fury back in 2019.

Salita explains that Deontay Wilder, after suffering back to back defeats to Fury, came back against a top rated opponent like Robert Helenius. He feels Joshua should do the same.

"After Wilder lost to Fury he fought a bone fide, world-rated, legitimate top 10 heavyweight. And is now in play to fight the best, based on his improvement with his new trainer Malik Scott. I have a lot of respect for the work that Malik did with Wilder and he was confident to take on a serious fighter after that brutal loss," Salita said.

"Otto is willing and ready to come to the UK on April 1 to fight Anthony Joshua. That would be a massive fight!"
