KURT WALKER, 10-0 (1), will on Saturday encounter the first serious test of his professional career, when he takes on James Beech Jnr over 10 rounds inside the hallowed walls of Belfast’s Ulster Hall.
Walker [pictured above], a Tokyo Olympian, has been a pro since 2022 but is yet to meet anyone worthy of his talents. He has only dropped a solitary round, but in Beech, three years his junior at 26, Walker takes on a rare opponent with a winning record.
