Kurt Walker (10-0, 1 KO) is set to face England's James Beech Jr. (16-5, 2 KOs) for the WBA Continental featherweight title on March 30, marking a significant step up for the undefeated Liverpudlian. The fight, hosted at the Ulster Hall, comes after Walker's dominant performance against Darwing Martinez. Walker now aims for a career-defining victory against Beech, who vied for the British and Commonwealth featherweight titles last year.

Walker's transition from amateur to professional boxing has been marked by adaptation, particularly in adopting a more planted stance to suit the pro style. Confident in his evolved skill set, Walker views the bout against Beech as a crucial test on his path toward British title contention, emphasizing the importance of versatility and conditioning in professional boxing.

The card also heralds the return of Belfast cruiserweight Stephen Ward, aiming for a successful comeback after a hiatus. Additionally, promising talents like Owen O’Neill, James Freeman, Glen Byrne, and JP O’Meara are slated to feature, underscoring the depth of boxing talent on display.
