Tyler Denny planning for a break and biscuits after Dublin defeat

Black Country boxing star Tyler Denny plans to take a break and “enjoy a few biscuits” after suffering defeat to Callum Walsh in Dublin.

The Rowley Regis middleweight lost for the second time in 2026 when he was outpointed by Zuffa Boxing favourite Walsh at the city’s 3Arena on Saturday night.

Denny, aiming to rebound after being edged out in a bid for the British title against George Liddard five months ago, made the perfect start when he sent Walsh to the canvas in the opening round.

But the 35-year-old was then knocked down himself in the second and it was Cork-born Walsh, roared on by his home crowd, who eventually went on to claim victory.

Both fighters were deducted a point in the eighth round, Walsh for holding and Denny for hitting around the back of the head.

Though the final judges’ scorecards were surprisingly wide, after what was often a close contest, Denny could have few real complaints about the result.

The defeat was his third in the last five fights and it is the first time in his 29-bout professional career he has suffered back-to-back losses, albeit both have come against unbeaten opponents.

Denny, who had wanted a victory to climb back into contention for major titles, posted a message on social media thanking his fans for their support.

He wrote: “Not the result I wanted and of course I am disappointed but huge respect to Callum.

“A massive thank you to everyone for the support and messages and especially those who made the trip over to Dublin. I hope you had a great time and it means the world to me.

“Time to chill with the family now and enjoy a few biscuits.”
