Monaghan boxer Aaron McKenna is to fight for the World IBF Middleweight title in August at the 3 Arena.

McKenna will face Italian Etinosa Oliha on Zuffa Boxing 10 on August 8th.

In a day full of huge announcements in Irish boxing, Callum Walsh will also be on the card, taking on Tyler Denny, also in the middleweight division.

McKenna's last fight saw him defeat Liam Smith on the undercard of the first fight between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn.

Zuffa Boxing was launched in 2025 as a joint-venture between TKO Group Holdings and leading entertainment conglomerate Sela.

TKO serves as managing partner, providing day-to-day operational expertise, management, and oversight of the promotion, with executive leadership anchored by Dana White - the long-serving figurehead of the UFC - and WWE president and TKO board member Nick Khan.
