The fight will occur at a catchweight of 153 pounds. Walker is a solid favorite at odds of 1/4 (-400), while Eggington is priced at 11/4 (+275). This indicates strong local support for Walker, who sold out the venue within a week.

Walker has gained attention after his close unanimous decision loss to Lewis Crocker in June 2024. He rebounded by stopping unbeaten Olympian Pat McCormack in the 12th round in December 2025. Eggington, on the other hand, has lost only twice in the past six years. His most recent setback was a majority decision loss to Dennis Hogan in October 2022.

Walker trains under coach Jamie Moore, who was close friends with Ricky Hatton. The fight promises to be entertaining, with Walker stating it has “war written all over it.” He added, “Listen, if he wants to go toe-to-toe, we can go toe-to-toe. Do you know what I mean? I’ll beat him any way he wants to fight me.”

Eggington responded with confidence as well. He stated, “Lee Cutler and Joe Pigford both picked me for the away corner. Different fighters, different venues. Same result incoming. Conah Walker, you are next.” This sets the stage for an exciting bout as both fighters look to claim victory.
