Conah Walker (17-3-1, 8 KOs) faces Sam Eggington (36-9, 20 KOs) on Saturday 2 May at the University of Wolverhampton at The Halls, live on DAZN. Walker, 30, headlines in his hometown in a 12-round super welterweight contest against the 32-year-old former British, Commonwealth and European champion. 

Main event ringwalks are expected at approximately 10:00 PM BST. Between them, Walker and Eggington have fought 66 professional bouts and shared a ring with the likes of Lewis Crocker, Liam Smith, Pat McCormack and Abass Baraou. Combined, they carry 28 knockouts across those 66 fights. 

Eggington actually called for this fight himself on X, posting that he was local and willing after hearing Walker was struggling to find an opponent. The matchmakers obliged within days. 

Both fighters have made careers out of defying expectations in the away corner, but only one of them gets to be the home fighter on May 2.

The Split Decision’s Prediction

This fight hinges on whether Eggington can slow Walker down in the first half. If he can land heavy and make the Wolverhampton man respect his power, the middle rounds become interesting. But Walker’s conditioning has been a defining weapon across his last four fights, and Eggington hasn’t done 12 competitive rounds since the Baraou fight in March 2024. 

Split Decision backs Walker to win by TKO, rounds 9-11.
