“Following his show-stopping knockouts in front of huge crowds in Dublin and New York City, we’re excited to bring boxing’s hottest young international star, Callum Walsh back to Southern California,” said Tom Loeffler. “Elias Espadas [23-6-1, 16 KOs] just fought to a draw in a sensational junior middleweight clash against undefeated Sadriddin Akhmedov on April 19 and jumped at the opportunity to face another world class fighter.”
“This is our seventh event at Chumash Casino and I strongly encourage fans to purchase tickets in advance to guarantee entry on fight night as every previous show has sold out.”
Walsh kicked off his 2025 campaign with a first round knockout of Scotland’s Dean Sutherland [19-1] on St. Patrick’s Day Weekend in The Theater at Madison Square Garden. This was his third time headlining the famed venue in front of a huge crowd of Irish fans. The Freddie Roach- trained southpaw fought in Ireland for the first time as a professional on September 20, 2024, stopping Poland’s Przemyslaw Runowski, [22-2-1], in the second round at the 3Arena in Dublin.
Trained by Manny Robles, Elias Espadas battled over 10 hotly contested rounds against undefeated Kazakh contender Sadriddin Akhmedov on April 19 at the Commerce Casino Events Center. The fierce clash was judged a draw with Espadas proving his mettle at the top of the junior middleweight division. Espadas has also battled undefeated young stars, Xander Zayas, Yamaguchi Falcao, D’Mitrius Ballard and Fiodor Czerkaszyn.
Additional fights for the event will be announced shortly.
