If you’re a fan of both UFC and boxing, get ready for something special. UFC has put together an exciting 30-minute episode called ‘Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight – Boston,’ focusing on the rising boxing sensation, “King” Callum Walsh.
This episode gives viewers a backstage pass to Callum’s fight week in Boston last March. With the likes of UFC President Dana White, promoter Tom Loeffler, and legendary trainer Freddie Roach by his side, the excitement builds up leading to the big fight. Matt Serra and Din Thomas join in as co-hosts, adding to the behind-the-scenes fun.
A memorable moment in the episode was shot in Peter Welch’s Boxing Gym in South Boston, where Callum not only won the Punch Bag Game Competition but also pocketed a $5,000 prize handed over by White.
Footage from Callum’s stunning victory over Wesley Tucker is also included, capturing his knockout win on the eve of St. Patrick’s Day. Among the notable figures cheering ringside were renowned names like Micky Ward, George St. Pierre, Gerry Cooney, and Maxx Crosby.
Tom Loeffler couldn’t be happier with UFC’s partnership, acknowledging the unprecedented attention and support that Callum has received. He proudly mentioned that Callum’s bouts on UFC FIGHT PASS have set record ratings for boxing on the platform.
But there’s more to come. This Saturday, Callum and Tom will be in the crowd at UFC 292 in Boston’s TD Garden Center. And next week, on August 26, Callum will be defending his WBC US Silver Super Welterweight Title against seasoned fighter Juan Jose Velasco in a ten-round clash at The Commerce Casino.
