LiamWalsh

Southpaw Liam Walsh is a smooth, easy-going fighter who turned professional in February 2008 on the same bill as his twin brother Ryan and older brother Michael.

Originally hailing from Manchester but now based in Cromer, Norfolk, Walsh won his debut fight and later went on to win Ricky Burns' vacated Commonwealth Super Featherweight belt against the gritty Ghanaian Maxwell Awuku.

Awuku had held a 20 - 1 record going into the fight, but Walsh prevailed to win on a unanimous points decision. The Mancunian has since defended his title scoring a knockout over Jon Kays and defeating Paul Appleby who retired hurt in the tenth.
