Callum Walsh, (9-0, 7 KOs), of Cork, Ireland will do battle on St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, Friday, March 15 against Dauren Yeleussinov, (11-3-1, 10 KOs) in the ten-round main event at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

The scrap streams on UFC FIGHT PASS.

On Thursday, November 9, 2023, Walsh beat Ismael Villarreal (13-1).

Expectations were high, Walsh has been getting a hard push, and some watchers thought Walsh didn’t meet expectations.

A “clean” win here gets his momentum more so back on track, I think.

Walsh was named the Prospect of the Year by the World Boxing Council (WBC).

Dauren is the  brother of 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist Daniyar Yelussinov and he resides in Brooklyn.
