Tyson Fury vs Otto Wallin: Swede to take no prisoners in Vegas… after working for years in a jail
OTTO WALLIN will be taking no prisoners tomorrow — after years of working in a jail.
Undefeated Wallin has been made a huge 11-1 outsider in his Las Vegas clash with Tyson Fury.
But the southpaw feels he will have no problem handling the wildchild of the heavyweight division.
Swede Wallin, 28, said: “I used to work in a prison until I turned pro. It was for mentally ill people.
“I had to look after them, serve food, take them out and make sure everything was OK.
“Sometimes it might be murderers or paedophiles but it was a special time. It gave me a different perspective on life.”
Another thing which has given Wallin perspective was the loss of dad Carl to a heart attack in May.
Revealing a spooky premonition, the 6ft 6in Swede said: “He was in New York in April and said to me, ‘If something would happen to me, you have to keep fighting’.

“That is what I’ve been trying to do. Even the day after he passed away I was in the gym.
“He said it was his dream to see my fight here in Vegas.
“I’m sorry he can’t be here but I’m going to do it for him anyway.”
