Callum Walsh, the undefeated boxing prodigy, showcased his skills in Dublin, Ireland, marking his debut in the local scene on Friday, September 20, 2024. The event was broadcast live on UFC Fight Pass from the renowned 3Arena.
Walsh, backed by UFC CEO Dane White and boasting an immaculate record of 11-0, had recently secured a remarkable knockout victory in June. While comparisons to Conor McGregor have surfaced, Walsh aims to carve out his distinct path in the sport.
During his first headline event in Ireland, Walsh faced off against Przemyslaw Runowski, a formidable opponent with a record of 22-2-1. Despite being the favored contender, Walsh had to stay cautious against rising competition levels.
Impressively, Walsh delivered a stellar performance, showcasing his power-packed punches from the initial round. In the second round, he landed a decisive counter left hand that sent Runowski crashing to the canvas, culminating in a victorious knockout.
This exceptional display surely left UFC CEO Dane White elated, especially as he eyes a potential transition from UFC to boxing. Walsh’s promising performance signifies a bright future ahead in the ring.
