BUI Celtic featherweight champion Colm Murphy insists he doesn't want to become an unwanted statistic on Dee Walsh's flawless record.
Coach Walsh has yet to taste defeat with any of his professional boxers, a stable that includes recently crowned world champion Padraig McCrory, Owen O'Neill and Conor Quinn.
Murphy, O'Neill and Quinn all return to action on Saturday night on the big Mark Dunlop show at Girdwood Community Hub.

And the unbeaten South Belfast prospect is keen to keep the good times rolling in the Walsh camp by defending his title against dangerous opponent Liam Gaynor.
"The team is flying at the minute, and Dee hasn't suffered a defeat yet," Murphy told Belfast Live.
"We also have Owen O'Neill and Conor Quinn on this bill. Owen is fighting for his first title, so on Saturday night we will end up with two BUI Celtic champions.
"Conor Quinn has been making quick moves as well and he is back in for a six-rounder, so he will be looking fast-tracked when he gets his win on Saturday night.
"Morale is high in the camp, especially after Pody got that world title win. And we want to keep up that momentum Pody has built for us."
Murphy claimed his Celtic title with a points win over Ruadhan Farrell at the SSE Arena back in August.
The 22-year-old admits fighting in the iconic 'Odyssey' venue was an experience that will stand him in good stead, but he insists the atmosphere on Saturday night will be even more electric.
"Fghting at the SSE was good. Obviously it wasn't packed out when my fight was on, but it was a good experience," he said.
"I feel these smaller venues provide more of an atmosphere for a boxer like myself at the minute. Girdwood will be packed out and the atmosphere will be electric.
"It will be a big occasion for me.
"I am top of the bill which means I am doing something right. To be honest I prefer to just go out early and get the job done. Waiting about doesn't suit me.
"But I am sure on the night when I do the job and get the win I will reflect on it positively. I will be happy I got the main event.
"The more success I get will mean I will have to get used to topping the bill. The only path I see is an upward one and I will have to configure my sleep schedule and get used to it."
