Returning Walsh to top bill at Cork fight-night
That was the first of nine national titles won by Walsh — a few years later he would stand alongside his younger brothers Kevin and Patrick when the family equalled the records of the Christle brothers from Dublin, and the famous Joyce brothers from Sunnyside, as the only families to win three national titles on the same night.
On February 17 Billy Walsh will return to Cork City Hall to top the bill at the “Valentine’s Weekend Massacre” — an exciting presentation of professional boxing packaged by the “Nowhere to Hyde Promotions” headed by Gary Hyde.
