Overview
- The main event is set for Saturday, Aug. 8 at the 3Arena in Dublin with the vacant IBF middleweight title on the line.
- Both unbeaten fighters made weight at the official Friday weigh-in, with McKenna at 159.6 lb and Etinosa Oliha at 159.1 lb.
- McKenna enters 20-0 as the home favourite after a breakout win over Liam Smith, while Oliha arrives 22-0 looking to pull off an upset.
- Zuffa Boxing is promoting the card as a major homecoming for McKenna and the show will be broadcast live on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Sky Sports in the U.K. and Ireland.
- A McKenna win would not only give him a world title but also advance his publicly stated plan to unify the middleweight belts and move up weight classes.
