"He’s had some great southpaw sparring. He looks really good," said Hearn, who noted that Wallin and Thomas are part of a group of "four or five" who have helped Joshua prepare for the April 9 title bout.
"They fancy it so much Martin’s lot. They think they can’t lose the fight," he added.
25-year-old Swede Wallin has a 14-0-0 career record with 10 knockouts, suggesting he will be ideal to help Joshua prepare to take on knockout merchant Martin at the O2 Arena.
Thomas, meanwhile, is 19-4-0 across a decade-long career, with the last of his nine knockouts coming against Jason Pauley in 2014. The 31-year-old American has a 79" reach, according to BoxRec, one inch shy of Martin.Explore more on these topics:
