Undefeated Prospect Callum Walsh Makes A Cameo on WWE Raw

It was a welcomed surprise as WWE Raw on USA gave an up-and-coming boxing prospect signed to 360 Promotions, the plug of a lifetime. 23-year-old junior middleweight ‘King’ Callum Walsh (9-0, 7 KOs) made a cameo on the show, viewed by millions worldwide every week. Walsh was ready for the moment as he smiled and waved to the crowd, not knowing that the broadcast team was talking him up and plugging his next fight on March 15 in NYC.

Walsh’s promoter, Tom Loeffler (360 Promotions), has a deal with UFC Fight Pass to stream his shows, which has led to Walsh being linked to UFC boss Dana White. The relationship has grown over the last 12 months, leading to White being at almost every Walsh fight. That type of rub can get you places quickly, and with the UFC and WWE underneath TKO Holdings, it’s a natural move to have a Walsh cameo, as it’s good business for everyone involved. Walsh is trained by Freddie Roach in Los Angeles, CA, so with RAW being in Anaheim, it was the right place/right time for Walsh.

He’s coming off a busy 2023 with four fights under his belt, the last being a unanimous decision over Ismael Villarreal. Although Villarreal pushed Walsh the furthest he has ever gone in his young career, the junior middleweight prospect was still able to pull out the decision.

Now Walsh has his sights set on March 15, where he will face Dauren Yeleussinov (11-3-1, 10 KOs) in front of an expected sea of Irish fans on St Patrick’s Day weekend at the Hulu Theater inside the Madison Square Garden. Loeffler and 360 Promotions will continue to move Walsh to these different markets to make him an international star in the future. If Walsh continues to impress, he will be on everyone’s radar sooner than later. Until then, doing these cameos on large platforms like WWE will only help raise his profile even faster.
