Profile

The story

According to the available sources, Wallace built an extensive amateur career and became Irish champion multiple times before making his professional debut. Sources differ on the exact number of amateur championships, with six and seven titles being mentioned; that discrepancy is left explicitly open here. In September 2018, he made his professional debut. His only professional defeat came against Leti Leti. Approximately eighteen months later, Wallace won the rematch, despite being knocked down once himself. Based in Brisbane, he collected regional titles with the WBA Oceania, WBO Intercontinental, IBF Pan-Pacific and the Australian organization in the light heavyweight division. In 2024, Matchroom Boxing, in collaboration with Goldstar Promotions and Tasman Fighters, described Wallace as a boxer with international ambitions. At Fortitude Boxing Gym in Brisbane, he also works as a boxing instructor and trains veterans.
