Kurt Walker is heading in the right direction for an enormous step up in August.
The Belfast featherweight had a breakout win in his first headline battle stay on DAZN on the Ulster Corridor in March.
The Conlan Boxing featherweight defeated James Beech Jnr in a vacant WBA Continental Europe title battle and did so in such fashion he was immediately linked with these in and round British title stage on the weight.
Names like Hopey Worth and Nathanael Collins had been talked about but it surely doesn’t look like both is subsequent.
Nevertheless, that doesn’t imply the Olympian must take a backward and even sideward step.
Actually, Jamie Conlan is eyeing up an enormous battle for the Canal BC graduate and want to put him in with Miguel Marriaga or the like.
A battle with the Columbian hasn’t been made however it’s one being explored for August 3 and the SSE Enviornment.
If Marriaga can’t be tempted to Belfast, a fighter of comparable standing and calibre might be sought.
Irish followers will bear in mind Marriaga, a three-time world title challenger, from his fights with Michael Conlan and Jono Carroll.
Certainly, he was seen as a check for each former world title challengers whom he fought in his final two fights. The large punching ‘Scorpion’ went the space with each and would characterize an enormous leap up the ladder for the Belfast man.
It might even be one other nice battle added to a card that features the return of Tyrone McKenna in addition to two all Irish fights in Dylan Moran versus Owen O’Neill and Ruadhan Farrell versus Ger Hughes.
