Irish boxer Callum Walsh stays undefeated with 3rd Round KO win

Irish boxer Callum Walsh kept his undefeated streak in tact with a third-round KO win over Delen Parsley last night.

The Corkman knocked his opponent down in all three rounds of the fight, with the referee eventually calling off the contest after a flush left hand dropped the American in the final minute of the third stanza.

With the win, Walsh moves to 5-0. Since making his professional debut last year the super-welterweight star has finished four of his five fights by knockout.

Walsh, who is trained by Freddie Roach, mentioned in the build-up to the fight that he was desperate for a knockout winning having been taken the full distance for the first time in his professional career back in August.

'King' Callum duly delivered on the promise, and outclassed Parsley throughout the one-sided contest.

“I want to give people a knockout,” said Walsh who can name UFC top-dog Dana White as one of his biggest supporters. “I’m 21 years old and I’m hungry. I’m ready for anything.”

"The last fight made me realise I hate going the distance. After that fight I was disappointed. I never want to go the distance, i'm in here to knock people out. "
