Event promoter Tom Loeffler commented: “Following his impressive knockouts in front of packed crowds in Dublin, Ireland, and New York, we are excited to bring boxing’s most promising young international star, Callum Walsh, back to Southern California. Elias Espadas just fought to a sensational draw in a super welterweight clash against undefeated Sadriddin Akhmedov on April 19 and jumped at the opportunity to take on another world-class fighter.”
