It has been a whirlwind week for Logan Walsh.<\/p>\n
Walsh, who trains with the Albion Amateur Boxing Club, arrived back in Pictou County after more than a week of training in Canada and the Netherlands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was among athletes Boxing Canada chose to train in Montreal before travelling to the world-renowned Eindhoven Box Cup for more training from May 21-25. He was one of two Nova Scotians on the Canadian roster.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The event takes place annually in the Dutch city of Eindhoven and also attracts boxers from Europe and Asia. It includes training and sparring, which Walsh said he thoroughly enjoyed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was great; it was a really good experience,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had one open sparring match and a lot of technical work and prep.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walsh said he learned Boxing Canada selected him from his provincial coach. He captured a gold medal in the 60-kg weight category at the 2026 Nationals earlier this year in Calgary.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got a text from our provincial coach,\u201d he said. \u201cI was in Mexico on vacation and when I found out I got some training in there. I met a really nice coach there.\u201d<\/p>\n
His goal now is to stay in shape for the next national event, which will take place in Membertou, Cape Breton.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, I want to dominate the Nationals to the fullest,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to show I\u2019m at another level and prepare for the next international competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walsh said he\u2019s glad he has effective sparring partners in the 63-kg weight class at the Albion club: Mason Urquhart and Tysen Bowen. He also spars with Wyatt Sanford from Kennetcook when he\u2019s able to visit the Albion club. He\u2019s a past national bronze medalist and owns a 6-0 professional record while boxing as a lightweight.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the best boxer we\u2019ve had in Nova Scotia in a long time,\u201d Walsh said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Walsh and Sanford have something in common. Walsh was named top senior boxing athlete during Sport Nova Scotia\u2019s annual Support4Sport awards that took place on May 23 in Halifax. Sanford won the award last year.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI have big shoes to fill,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cI\u2019d like to do what he\u2019s done. It shows I can be at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walsh was also among three finalists for overall male athlete of the year, a list that included NHL star Nathan MacKinnon. He was unable to attend the awards due to his trip to Europe, but coaches Erin MacGregor and Walter Linthorne did attend to accept Albion\u2019s club of the year award.\u00a0<\/p>\n
MacGregor was also named volunteer of the year for boxing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s nice to see the club being acknowledged,\u201d MacGregor said. \u201cWe all put in a lot of work, so it\u2019s nice to have it celebrated.\u201d<\/p>\n
