“I am thrilled to be back in action on another significant card.
Lomachenko is one of the greats of his era,” Ali Walsh said. “My
first year as a professional has been a tremendous learning experience,
and I have a great team to help me get to the next level. I respect
Billy Wagner and am preparing to showcase everything I’ve learned in
the gym from my incredible trainer, Kay Koroma.”
Ali Walsh (6-0, 5 KOs) made his pro debut in August 2021 with a
first-round knockout and has been dominant in the paid ranks apart from
one minor hiccup. Last December, he made his Madison Square Garden debut
and edged Reyes Sanchez by majority decision. Following a pair of quick
knockouts to start his 2022 campaign, he fought Sanchez in an August
rematch at Pechanga Arena San Diego, the same building where Muhammad
Ali lost to Ken Norton via split decision in 1973. Ali Walsh cleared up
any doubt, doubling over Sanchez with a left hook to the liver in the
second round. Wagner (5-2, 1 KO), from Browning, Montana, has won two
straight since a February 2021 knockout loss to Javier Martinez inside
the MGM Grand Bubble.
