Belfast’s own Michael Conlan is poised to make a triumphant return to the ring in his hometown on March 20. The Olympic medalist is set to face off against the undefeated Kevin Walsh from New York in what promises to be an electrifying matchup at the SSE Arena. This highly anticipated bout was initially rumored to take place on March 13, as suggested by Walsh on his social media platforms, but has since been confirmed for the following weekend.
Conlan, a two-time world title challenger, had considered various options for his St. Patrick’s Day weekend fight, including Dublin and New York. However, the decision was made to bring the action to Belfast, much to the delight of his local fans. Walsh, hailing from Brockton and boasting an impressive 19-0 record, has expressed his enthusiasm for the fight, albeit with some confusion regarding the date.
In a recent online statement, Walsh shared his excitement: “King Kevin Walsh takes on his toughest test in his opponent’s backyard yet again. From the streets of Brockton, Massachusetts, all the way to Belfast, Ireland, we go. March 13th!!!!!! The fight is on, and I’m ready to go 20-0. Shoutout to Conlan and his team for accepting the fight. Much respect. With that being said, it’s my time. I’m a maniac. I was born for this life. I am ready to take this journey to the next level.”
Walsh also took the opportunity to thank his supporters, sponsors, family, and friends for their unwavering belief in him. He extended his gratitude to his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield Sr., and his manager, Richard Cappiello, for making the fight a reality. “Get your passports ready. Let’s go,” Walsh urged his fans.
The confirmation of this bout adds to an already exciting lineup of upcoming boxing events. Notably, Tyson Fury is set to make his comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 in the UK, marking Netflix’s first live boxing broadcast in the region. This fight will also be part of the filming for the second season of “At Home with the Furys,” offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at the Fury family.
As the boxing world gears up for these thrilling matchups, all eyes will be on Belfast on March 20, where Michael Conlan aims to deliver a memorable performance in front of his home crowd. Stay tuned for more updates and exclusive coverage as the fight night approaches.
