Ryan desperate to realise his 'home' debut dream
Ryan Walsh says he will continue to bend the ear of promoter Frank Warren as he bids to realise an ambition - to fight for a title at Carrow Road. The 23-year-old took his record into double figures on Saturday with a 49-second demolition of Eugene Heagney - amazingly, still 28 seconds longer than it took him to beat Riaz Durgahed on his debut just over two years ago.
Ryan Walsh says he will continue to bend the ear of promoter Frank Warren as he bids to realise an ambition - to fight for a title at Carrow Road.
The 23-year-old took his record into double figures on Saturday with a 49-second demolition of Eugene Heagney - amazingly, still 28 seconds longer than it took him to beat Riaz Durgahed on his debut just over two years ago.
And he is determined to take his explosive fists on to a local stage - with a night out at a Premier League football ground simply whetting his appetite for a big fight night spectacular closer to home.
"I was so wrapped up in it - that is some venue, it's so special," he said.
"My dream, has changed because of that - I dream to fight at Carrow Road now. It didn't mean that much to me before because it's just Carrow Road. I wasn't a City fan - I'm Manchester United at heart - but my mates have made me a City fan. I want to fight in a football stadium because of tonight.
"If I can get into a position to do it, that's what I want - and I want to do it with my brothers as well. I want three title fights.
