Callum Walsh receives the ultimate compliment from the WBC president

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has high hopes for Callum Walsh after commenting praise on his Instagram post.

Walsh took just four rounds to defeat veteran Carson Jones at the Commerce Casino in California on Friday night - who had over 60 professional fights.

The 22-year-old won his seventh successive professional fight and his sixth inside the distance with a flurry of shots that saw the referee wave off a one-sided contest.

The Cork native, however, suffered a cut to his eye from an accidental headbutt in the third round of the bout.

In the aftermath, Walsh uploaded a satirical video to Instagram where he constantly wears his new WBC USA Silver Super Welterweight title at home.

Sulaiman described the sketch as "sensational" and teased Walsh by referencing the WBC green belt - which is the most sought after in the WBC.

"This is sensational! Love it and wait for the day I will personally put the WBC world champion GREEN BELT!!! So proud of you," Sulaiman wrote on Instagram.
