Ryan Walsh has called for a shot at newly crowned British lightweight champion Sam Noakes. Walsh (28-4-2, 12 KO’s) proudly reigned at the British featherweight champion for five years between 2015 and 2020.

The nature of a stunning result can vary. Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson stunned the world. It may have stunned some neighboring ones too.
