Walsh should take Ocampo out in a couple-few rounds because his chin isn’t reliable. Tszyu KO’d him in the first round. But Ocampo can punch, so Walsh’s defense had better be on point

Callum Walsh was on his way to becoming one of the biggest names in the World Boxing Council (WBC).

Instead, he’ll spend his competitive prime toiling away in the dark corners of Meta Apex, the facility best known for staging UFC “Fight Night” events to little or no fanfare. That could change with the new addition of seating (see early ticket prices here), but the damage may have already been done.

Blame UFC CEO Dana White and Zuffa Boxing.

“I am sorry for Callum Walsh,“ WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman told BetssonUK. ”He was the WBC Continental Champion and before the WBA USA champion. He’s a very nice kid, very close to me in several times. You look at his Instagram, it’s full of videos and pictures with a WBC belt and saying how proud he is, what his dream is to be the WBC champion one day. And now, joining this new Zuffa [Boxing], he has relinquished his WBC Championship. They put him in a fight, he’s a super welterweight fighter, but Zuffa does not have super welterweight. They only have eight weight categories.“

Walsh, 24, became the first boxer signed by UFC CEO Dana White back in 2023. Fast-forward to 2026 and the Irish “King” is headlining the inaugural Zuffa Boxing card in Las Vegas. Walsh improved to 16-0 by defeating Carlos Ocampo last weekend on Paramount+ “and the result was mediocre.”

lol WBC is scared. All the ABC commisions have failed to grow the sport for decades.

Dana has shown he knows how to build a business, especially in combat sports. Zuffa is backed by TKO and big oil money in Saudi Arabia. This will not fail. Meta Apex is temporary. Callum will be fighting in front of large crowds by year’s end.

I just wish they went with a better name than Zuffa Boxing. Would prefer a league name like NFL, NBA, NFL, UFC, etc.
