A new world champion is set to be crowned this evening as Aaron McKenna and Etinosa Oliha meet for the vacant IBF middleweight title.
McKenna has risen up the ranks over the past few years, and claimed the biggest win of his career so far when he defeated Liam Smith by unanimous decision at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
It has seen him put together an unbeaten record of 20-0, with 10 of those wins by knockout, and he will look to add to that tally when he collides with Oliha tonight.
Oliha is also unbeaten, holding a record of 22-0 with 10 knockouts, but has never competed outside of Germany or Italy ahead of tonight’s battle at the 3Arena in Dublin.
The IBF belt became vacant after former champion Janibek Alimkhanuly was stripped of the title, with McKenna and Oliha bidding to join the other champions in the division, as Denzel Bentley holds the WBO crown, Carlos Adamas is the WBC titleholder, and Erislandy Lara is in possession of the WBA strap.
