With this outcome, it is now three (3) wins out of three (3) for the British Heavyweight boxer.
Joshua cruised to his 27th professional career victory,
The 34-year old discomfited Jermaine Franklin Jr by unanimous decision in April before clinching a seventh round triumph over Robert Helenius in August.
According to Al Jazeera:
In the fifth, Joshua was throwing menacing, calculated punches, with Wallin offering little to nothing in attack. With just about one minute of the round remaining, Joshua unleashed a superb left hook to leave Wallin stumbling towards the ropes.
Wallin managed to stay on his feet and see out the round, but the Swede’s corner said their fighter was unable to continue as Joshua celebrated a destructive win.
