Light heavyweight prospect Conor Wallace will fight in his adopted hometown on April 23 on the undercard of Jason Moloney vs. Andre Donovan, according to event promoter Tasman Fighters.
The show will be held at Fortitude Music Hall in Fortitude Valley, a suburb of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. The 29-year-old Wallace is originally from Northern Ireland but has fought his entire professional career in Australia. His opponent has not yet been named.
This will be Wallace’s first bout since last June, which was his sole match of 2025. He took an eight-round decision over the 14-1 Dylan Colin on the undercard of Jai Opetaia vs. Claudio Squeo.
Wallace was much busier the year before that, competing three times in 2024. He stopped the 7-0 Jack Gipp in six rounds; won a 12-round split decision over the 18-1 Jerome Pampellone; and put away the 7-0-1 Asemahle Wellem in eight rounds. Wallace’s lone loss was to Leti Leti via majority decision in April 2021; he won their rematch via sixth-round knockout in November 2022.
Wallace is ranked No. 2 by the IBF, No. 5 by the WBO and No. 10 by the WBC.
The undercard of Moloney vs. Donovan will also feature a few unbeaten prospects, including junior middleweight Ben Mahoney, 16-0-1 (9 KOs), against Dan Hill, 7-2 (3 KOs); light heavyweight Austin Aokuso, 10-0 (4 KOs), against Wulamu Tulake, 13-4-1 (8 KOs); and super middleweight Max McIntyre, 9-0 (8 KOs), against Tej Pratap Singh, 20-8-3 (9 KOs).
