He further explained that he was too young for the game and would let his coach decide if he was ready. “I like to listen to him, I’m still a baby. He has so much more knowledge than I do. This is not a sport to rush in, but personally, if you were to just ask me individually, I think after this next fight I get the win, God willing, I think I’ll be ready to go pro.”

Walsh faced a setback in his initial fora͏y into amateur competition, but he has swiftly disman͏tled his last five opponen͏ts, securing victories in all instances by stoppage.
