Callum Walsh (11-0, fighting out of Cork, Ireland) will defend his WBC Continental Americas Super Welterweight for the second time at the 3Arena, following consecutive knockout wins over Dauren Yeleussinov and Carlos Ortiz. The fight marks Walsh’s first professional main event appearance on home soil and with 9 KOs in his career, this headline bout is sure to deliver fireworks. Walsh is coached by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and is touted as one of the sport’s brightest talents.
Przemyslaw Runowski (22-2-1, fighting out of Slupsk, Poland) heads into the event unbeaten in his last five outings and having never been stopped. He is the top rated boxer in Poland in the super welterweight division and has his eyes on ruining Walsh’s homecoming and taking his belt.
Ali Akhmedov (21-1, fighting out of Almaty, Kazakhstan) returns to the ring for the third time in 2024, following back-to-back knockout victories in April and May.

Pierre Hubert Dibombe (22-1-1, fighting out of Nates, Loire-Atlantique, France) has the opportunity to complete his mission of becoming world champion by 2026 when he meets Akhmedov in Dublin.
