His next challenge will be getting past the 37-year-old from Kazakhstan, Dauren Yeleussinov. While Yeleussinov is 14 years older than Walsh, he still presents a unique puzzle. Like Callum, Yeleussinov is a southpaw who carries power. Walsh, who is typically an aggressive fighter, plays well into Yeleussinov’s counterpunching style. A note on Yeleuissnov’s stance is he does have his left hand relatively low, so expect the lead right hook to be a part of Callum’s game plan heading into this fight. While Yeleuissinov is no pushover and has only won via decision once, Walsh is expected to continue his dominant victories.
