The unbeaten Commonwealth
Super-Featherweight champion feels that he and his two brothers have
what it takes to become champions at all levels.
Cromer star Walsh makes the second
defence of his title against former British Featherweight champion Paul
Appleby on Friday 30th September at London’s York Hall – the debut show
of George and Francis Warren of Queensberry Promotions.
“We’re all in the sport to get to the
top,” Walsh said. “I genuinely believe Ryan, Michael and myself can be
world champions at the same time. You see fighters that are world
champions and have been champions and you think why not.
“I train everyday and I give my whole life to boxing, so why can’t I be a world champion?
“Ryan is also genuinely determined, he is
in the gym training with me everyday, I think Ryan is a bit underrated
to be honest with you, some people are going to get a shock from Ryan
but I will let him speak for himself.
“Michael is out injured at the minute and
is a bit down in the dumps but when he gets back he’ll take some
beating. One day it would be brilliant if we were all champions, it
would be a dream come true if we were all world champions.”
With that being said, Walsh, who will be stepping into the ring for the twelfth time, wants to take things one step at a time.
“I’m in this sport to get to the top and
I’m sure Paul is as well,” he contined. “I can’t look past Paul Appleby,
I’m ambitious and I want to be a British, European and World champion
but if I look beyond Paul I won’t be any of them.
“Right now the only thing that I’m concentrating on his train for this might against Paul and beating him.
“I think it will be a cracking fight, I
think the fans watching it will have a belter, we both have to go out
there and win. I need to win , I’m on a path to where I want to be and
for Paul it’s pretty much his last chance.
“We’re meeting at a good point in our careers because with both have to win and we’re both going to lay it on the line.”
Walsh and his brothers have continued training at their Norwich base with trainer Graham Everett.
“Preparations have been going well and I
feel this has been my best training camp to date and I have done more
sparring than before. I feel brilliant and there will be know excuses on
my behalf,” the 25-year-old continued.
“I’ve studied a lot of Paul fights, I’ve
got quite a lot of his fights on DVD. I’ve been preparing for lots of
different strategies. He is aggressive, but in his last couple of fights
he’s used his jab and defense a bit more, but I’m prepared either way.”
Remaining tickets priced at £40 and £60 are available on Box Office 01992 505 550.
