Plymouth teenage prospect Callum Dan headlines in Mumbai on April 26

British boxing prospect Callum Dan headlines Mumbai event, continues international rise at 17

Rising British boxing prospect Callum Dan (6-0, 6 KOs) will headline the Global Boxing Series event in Mumbai on April 26th, 2026, marking his Indian debut at just 17 years old in what represents another significant milestone in his accelerated international development under Marine Pro Boxing's guidance.

This bout comes just two months after Callum's second-round stoppage victory against experienced Thai opponent Campee Phayom in Bangkok. A win that cemented his perfect 6-0 professional record, with all victories secured 6,000 miles from his Plymouth home. Since returning from Thailand, he has maintained his intensive training regime in preparation for this Mumbai challenge.

Continuing his rapid ascent through international boxing circuits, Callum will face Suresh Pasham at super welterweight in the main event at Nexus Seawoods mall, Navi Mumbai. Pasham brings significant boxing experience, having shared the ring with seasoned fighters including Neeraj Goyat, and has been stopped only once in his career.

"This Mumbai event represents exactly the kind of deliberate, strategic development we envisioned when Callum signed with Marine Pro Boxing in January," said Devraj Das, founder of Marine Pro Boxing and Global Boxing Series. "He's proven himself capable of adapting to different fighting environments, and headlining against a quality opponent like Pasham in front of an Indian crowd will add another valuable layer to his education."

While Callum has competed before large amateur crowds, the atmosphere promises to be unlike anything he's previously experienced. Fighting as the visiting fighter against a home favourite, he'll face Mumbai's passionate boxing audience including confirmed ringside attendance by Mary Kom, six-time world champion and Olympic bronze medallist.

The event's build-up is already generating significant local media attention, with Callum's profile set to appear across Mumbai through traditional media and billboard campaigns. This exposure represents a dramatic escalation from his early professional days, reflecting Marine Pro Boxing's strategic investment in raising his international profile.

All fights will be streamed live worldwide on TrillerTV from 12:30 GMT, allowing global supporters to follow Callum's continued progress toward his ultimate goal: obtaining his British Boxing Board of Control licence when he turns 18 and fighting professionally in front of a home UK crowd.

At 17, with six professional victories already secured, Callum's Mumbai appearance marks another step in Marine Pro Boxing's calculated approach to developing elite international talent while building toward his eventual UK professional debut.
