NEW YORK (March 16, 2025) -- The biggest Irish boxing card in New York City history is coming to The Theater at Madison Square Garden today -- St. Patrick's Day eve. Presented by Tom Loeffler's 360 Promotions, the card will be headlined by undefeated Callum Walsh, from Cork, Ireland, who is trained by Hall of Famer Freddie Roach. The WBC and IBF no. 6 world-rated super welterweight contender, Walsh (12-0, 10 KOs), will be defending his WBC Continental Americas title against Dean Sutherland (19-1, seven KOs), from Aberdeen, Scotland. The top portion of the seven-bout card, featuring seven fighters from Ireland or of Irish descent, will be streamed live globally on UFC Fight Pass beginning at 6 p.m. ET.
Making his pro debut on the undercard will be light heavyweight amateur standout Sean O'Bradaigh, in a four-round bout, against Jefferson Almeida, from Campo Grande, Brasil, also making his pro debut. O'Bradaigh, 22, a first generation American, is not your typical boxer having completed his bachelor's degree in real estate finance at New York University last December. He will receive his diploma at NYU's commencement in May. As for O'Bradaigh's boxing credentials, he won the 2023 New York Golden Gloves tournament (now called the Ring Masters) at Madison Square Garden in the 165 pound division and the Elite 176 pound title in the 2023 New York Boxing Tournament. He was also a three-time National Amateur semifinalist -- twice in the U.S. and once in Ireland -- and a 2024 Olympic trials competitor. He was ranked as high as no. 8 in the U.S. Amateurs light heavyweight division. The card's first three bouts, including Sean's, will be streamed live and free on the UFC Fight Pass YouTube channel beginning at 4 p.m. ET (Walsh vs Sutherland LIVE Prelims | EXCLUSIVELY on UFC FIGHT PASS!) Remaining tickets may be purchased at Ticketmaster or at The Garden box office.
