Pre-Sale Starts Today at MSG.com

New York City (January 9, 2025) The Fastest Rising Star in Boxing, ‘King’ Callum Walsh, (12-0, 10 KOs), of Cork, Ireland returns to headline St. Patrick’s Day Weekend at The Theater at Madison Square Garden against ‘Deadly’ Dean Sutherland, (19-1, 7 KOs), of Aberdeen, Scotland in the 10-round main event on Sunday, March 16, 2025. The 23-year-old Walsh, trained by Hall of Famer Freddie Roach will be making the third defense of his WBC Continental Americas Super Welterweight Title.

Pre-Sale Tickets for The Biggest Irish Boxing Card in New York City History are Now On-Sale at MSG.com. The event is promoted by Tom Loeffler’s 360 Promotions and will be broadcast globally on UFC Fight Pass, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports. This marks the third headlining fight at The Theater at Madison Square Garden for Walsh, currently world ranked #6 by the International Boxing Federation and #7 by the World Boxing Council.

“It’s a thrill to be fighting back at Madison Square Garden for the third time and again on St. Patrick’s Day Weekend,” said Callum Walsh. “I’ll be ready to put on a show for the biggest Irish celebration in New York City.”

“I’m headed to New York City for victory in front of the Irish boxing fans on Sunday, March 16,” said Dean Sutherland. “My winning streak of six fights in a row will continue as I move up in the rankings and win the WBC Continental Americas Title.”

“We’re very excited to promote another huge Irish boxing card at Madison Square Garden,” said Tom Loeffler. “This fight provides Callum another opportunity to prove that he is the best and most marketable young fighter in boxing as he headlines this famed venue for the third time.”

“Thanks very much for their support to Madison Square Garden and to our broadcast partners, Dana White and UFC Fight Pass for live streaming the event globally.”

Fighting in the ten-round co-main event, super welterweights Emmet Brennan, (5-0, 1KO) of Dublin, Ireland and Kevin ‘The Kingdom Warrior’ Cronin, (8-2-1,4 KOs) of County Kerry, Ireland, will face-off in a rematch from their hotly contested clash won by Cronin at the 3Arena event on September 20, 2024.

Former world title challenger ‘Fearless’ Feargal McCrory, (16-1, 8 KOs), returns to The Theater at Madison Square Garden against Brandon Benitez, (21-3, 9 KOs), of Queretaro, Mexico over ten rounds.

Popular Irish heavyweight Thomas ‘The Bomber’ Carty, (10-0, 9 KOs), of Dublin will make his U.S. debut against Dajuan Calloway, (10-3, 8 KOs), of Warrenville Heights, OH in a scheduled eight rounder.

Long a New York City fan favorite, super lightweight Cletus ‘The Hebrew Hammer’ Seldin, (28-1, 23 KOs), faces veteran Issouf Kinda, (20-6, 9 KOs), of Brooklyn, NY in an eight-round cross-town showdown.

Rounding out the featherweight Donagh Keary will make his pro debut in a four-round featherweight bout against an opponent to be announced.

Callum Walsh capped his remarkable 2024 with his professional debut in his native Ireland on September 20, at the 3Arena in Dublin. Fighting in front of a ‘loud and proud’ gathering of over 5,000 fans, Walsh dismantled the much more experienced Polish veteran Przemyslaw Runowski with a second-round knockout.

Dean Sutherland enters the battle against Callum Walsh with a six-fight winning streak; fighting four times in 2024 closing the year in style, defending his title for the first time with a fourth-round stoppage of Fraser Wilkinson on November 30 headlining in Aberdeen.
