In just about every way, Thursday night’s fight will be a step up for Callum Walsh. The super welterweight from Cork, Ireland, has looked impressive since making his professional debut in December 2021, compiling a 5-0 record.
But each of those bouts was held at Quiet Cannon Country Club outside of Los Angeles, with a capacity of approximately 1,500. And none were scheduled for more than six rounds.
When Walsh, 22, makes his way to the ring at Agganis Arena Thursday, he will be doing so in a venue that holds 6,000 and for a fight scheduled for 10 rounds.
