Aaron McKenna Aims for IBF Title | Dublin News

Aaron McKenna is set to make history this Saturday at the 3Arena in Dublin, stepping into the ring for his first home-town fight and a shot at the vacant IBF middleweight title. The undefeated Irish star (20-0) takes on Italy’s also-unbeaten Etinosa Oliha (22-0), a relative unknown with an IBO title under his belt but limited top-tier exposure. While McKenna’s resume lacks elite-level opponents, he’s the heavy favorite—and if he delivers, Ireland could be crowned with a new middleweight king. The card also features Cork’s knockout machine Callum Walsh (16-0, 11 KOs) facing former European champ Tyler Denny, plus Joe Ward’s return after a two-year hiatus against undefeated Artjom Kasparian—a chance for Ward to prove his amateur glory can translate to pro success.
