The Wolverhampton fighter took to the ring at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on Saturday night on the undercard to Galal Yafai's win over Sunny Edwards.

Coming off a loss to Lewis Crocker in June, Walker got behind his guard and took the gruelling fight to Ritson.

The Black Country fighter landed several nasty body shots and hooks to the head as he turned the pressure up.

Ritson fought back valiantly but seemed to struggle with Walker's power advantage as he took damage from his shots.
