“Callum continues to be one of the most talked about fighters in international boxing,” said Loeffler. “His fights garner the highest historical ratings for boxing on UFC Fight Pass, with his exciting victories being broadcast all over the world. Dana White and his Team at UFC are the perfect partners for the escalation of Callum’s career.”

“Livan Navarro has everything to gain against Callum and presents another tough challenge that he faces early in his career.”

Trained by Hall of Famer Freddie Roach at the famed Wild Card Boxing Gym in Hollywood, California, the 22-year-old southpaw, a native of Cork, Ireland, Walsh earned the WBC U.S. silver super welterweight title with a dominant performance and fourth-round stoppage of world title challenger Carson Jones in front of a sold-out Commerce Casino crowd on June 9, 2023.
