Otto Wallin, 29, took a new step in his career when he lost an even match in September against world star Tyson Fury. He now lives in New York and this is also where he has been isolated during the corona pandemic.
He himself has been ill, without any more serious symptoms, and at his gym two of the staff have died in covid-19.
- Everyone you know here is affected in one way or another. I myself have lost people in my presence. Two guys from my gym have died, Wallin tells Aftonbladet.
For a long time it was hardly possible to move outside the home, but now the restrictions in New York have been eased a bit. Wallin doesn't think President Donald Trump has handled the crisis well.
- Trump's actions in this crisis have been under all criticism. He kicks everything and everyone and blames himself. It's never his own fault. But the worst of all is that he silences his own experts, those who really know something, who stick to the facts and can tell how it really is. Then it becomes like having a dictator, he says.
