What a start. Cork’s Callum Walsh successfully defended his WBC Continental Americas Super Welterweight title at Dublin’s 3Arena with a second-round KO on an extremely encouraging night for Irish boxing.

The 23-year-old overcame Przemyslaw Runowski for an impressive homecoming triumph to bring his record to 12-0, 10 KOs. A shorter Runowski was caught as he tried to close the gap with a spinout hook and huge left hand. Before he knew it, the referee called it off and glasses of beer were raining down on the canvas in celebration.
