 A soaring career continues to surge. First for Callum Walsh is the matter of a sold-out California main event. Then the young fighter is determined to bring the show back to Cork.

The Cobh native has enjoyed a compelling back story. He is trained by Hall of Famer Freddie Roach, managed by Tom Loeffler and backed by UFC chief Dana White. On Friday, Walsh headlines a Hollywood Fight Night against Carlos Ortiz Cervantes (14-5, 14 KOs).
