Cork, Ireland’s own boxing whirlwind, ‘King’ Callum Walsh, boasting a pristine record of 9 wins, 7 by knockout, is gearing up to set the ring ablaze again. This time, he’s strapping on his gloves for a St. Patrick’s Day Weekend showdown, on Friday, March 15, at The Theater in Madison Square Garden. And guess what? The whole world can tune in to witness this spectacle on UFC FIGHT PASS, the digital coliseum for combat sports enthusiasts.
At the ripe age of 22, this Irish sensation is all set to guard his WBC USA Silver Super Welterweight crown for the third time, in a ten-round headline brawl. Remember his New York debut last November? Walsh stormed through the Big Apple, leaving a lasting mark on the boxing fanatics with a commanding ten-round triumph over Ismael Villarreal.
Walsh, with a twinkle in his eye, expressed his delight at returning to the iconic Madison Square Garden, anticipating an even more thunderous welcome from fans, with a fleet of Irish supporters in tow.
Tom Loeffler, the mastermind behind 360 Promotions, can’t help but boast about Walsh. He’s not just any young fighter; he’s a meteoric presence in the ring and a magnet for the spotlight. Headlining Madison Square Garden twice in four months? That’s not just skill, that’s star power.
2023 was a banner year for Walsh – four victories, three by the art of the knockout, crowned by the title of UFC FIGHT PASS Athlete of the Year. As March 15 approaches, Walsh prepares to relive the St. Patrick’s Day magic, reminiscent of his previous year’s triumph over Wesley Tucker in Boston, where he captivated a sea of Irish boxing fans.
