The Fastest Rising Star in Boxing, ‘King’ Callum Walsh, (9-0, 7 KOs), of Cork, Ireland will return on Friday, March 15, St. Patrick’s Day Weekend to The Theater at Madison Square Garden and broadcast globally on UFC FIGHT PASS, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports.
The 22-year-old Irish phenom will defend his WBC USA Silver Super Welterweight Title for the third time in the ten-round main event.
Debuting in New York City on Thursday, November 9, 2023, Walsh made a strong impression on the raucous boxing crowd in the famed venue with a dominant ten-round decision over top local prospect Ismael Villarreal, (13-1).
“I’m honored to be fighting again at Madison Square Garden on St. Patrick’s Pay Weekend,” said Walsh. “The entire fight week experience in New York City was tremendous and I know the atmosphere this time will be even more electric with more fans coming over from Ireland.”
“Callum continues to distinguish himself from any other young fighter,” said promoter Tom Loeffler, President of 360 Promotions. “For him to be headlining at Madison Square Garden, The Mecca of Boxing, twice in four months truly makes a statement for not only his ascent inside the ring but his rapidly growing marketability outside.”
Following a sensational 2023 with four victories, three by knockout, Walsh was named the
UFC FIGHT PASS Athlete of the Year.
The March 15 event at Madison Square Garden will be the second straight year Walsh has celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a headlining fight, previously defeating Wesley Tucker on March 16, 2023 at the Agganis Arena in Boston, MA in front of a huge contingent of Irish boxing fans.
Further details on this event and ticket information will be announced shortly.
