Undefeated Irish Boxer Callum Walsh Reveals Dana White’s Plan to Propel Him Towards UFC Title

Callum Walsh is the only boxer to fight on UFC Fight Pass and Dana White has big plans for him. The UFC president has a lot of faith in the Irishman and sees shades of Conor McGregor in him. White is an avid boxing fan and even had aspirations of turning pro when he was younger. It now seems that he is fulfilling his dreams through Walsh.

For the uninitiated, Callum Walsh is an unbeaten boxer with a 10-0 record. Walsh recently sat down with Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson for an episode of the ‘Jaxxon’ podcast on YouTube. The Irishman doubled down on his relationship with the UFC president. Walsh stated,

“I don’t have a contract with the UFC.. So Uncle Dana you know, he’s just helping me out that’s what he said. He just wants to help me win a world title.”

Callum Walsh revealed that Dana White is helping him out to build his legacy in the UFC. The UFC president wants to see the young boxer win a world title and believes that he has what it takes to become a world champion.

While Walsh aspires to be an MMA star in the future, the Irish boxer is currently focusing on the job at hand. His next fight will take place on June 7 against Carlos Ortiz. The Irish fighter will look to keep his unbeaten streak intact to further establish himself as a dominant force and impress Dana White further.

Meanwhile, the young boxer wants to change the sport of boxing. Walsh had previously spoken about how he brings a UFC mindset to the table, with White complimenting the same.

“I’d love to see Dana get involved in boxing because with the UFC mindset where the best fight the best, that doesn’t happen enough in boxing.”
