Billy Walsh gets ready for action in Memphis

Former Ireland head coach Billy Walsh will sign a contract with USA Boxing this week in Memphis.

“I will sign some day this week, I don’t know which day yet,” said Walsh, who is in Memphis, Tennessee, for the USA Olympic trials which began yesterday at the Cook Convention Centre.

Walsh, who has been the number one target of USA Boxing for almost a year, resigned as Ireland head coach last Monday in a move which has convulsed Irish boxing.
