Callum Walsh Plans To ‘Put On A Show’ For Irish Fans

Callum Walsh is set to return home to face Przemyslaw Runowski at Dublin’s 3Arena on September 20.

Walsh is a massive star and has the backing of the UFC and Dana White who promote him on social media, and ahead of his return fight in Ireland, he says this is something he has wanted to do for years.

“Since the start of my career, I wanted to go and fight in Ireland, and it’s been a long time coming,” said Walsh. “You know, I’ve had 11 fights out here, 11 wins, and now it’s finally time to go back and put on a show for the Irish people back in Ireland.”

Walsh’s promoter Tom Loeffler says the Irishman fighting back at home is special. But, they also didn’t want an easy opponent, as instead, they know Runowski pose a lot of problems.

“He’s the number one rated fighter in Poland,” Loeffler said. “Callum’s 11-0 with nine knockouts. Runowski is 22-2, with a lot more experience as a professional. But these are the type of fights that Callum needs to take if he’s going to headline UFC Fight Pass and headline the 3Arena… It’s a great fight. Great fight. It’s gonna be a chess match. It’s gonna be a lot of fireworks, and the Irish fans are definitely coming out.”

Although Loeffler thinks it will be a chess match, Callum Walsh doubts that will be the case. Instead, he believes he will be a step ahead of the Pole and will get a KO win.

“I don’t think it’s gonna be a chess match,” countered Walsh. “I’ve never really been involved in a chess match. I’m gonna go in there and I’m just gonna knock him out. He hasn’t ever been finished. On September 20, there’s a first time for everything, and it’ll be the first time he gets knocked out.”

Callum Walsh is 11-0 as a pro and coming off a KO win over Carlos Ortiz Cervantes.
