Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.ie for Zuffa Boxing 10: McKenna vs. Oliha, taking place at 3Arena on Saturday, August 8. The bill is topped by a middleweight world championship clash between Ireland's Aaron McKenna and Italy's Etinosa Oliha, and will air live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.
McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs) and Oliha (22-0, 10 KOs) will compete in the first middleweight world title fight contested on Irish soil in more than three decades. The bout also marks McKenna's long-awaited professional debut in his home country after compiling more than 150 amateur victories and winning eight Irish national championships.
The co-main event sees unbeaten Cork native "King" Callum Walsh (16-0, 11 KOs) return to the 3Arena to face experienced English southpaw Tyler Denny (21-4-3, 1 KO) in a 10-round middleweight clash. Walsh, who thrilled Irish fans with a second-round knockout victory at the venue in 2024, looks to continue his rapid rise against the battle-tested Denny, who has shared the ring with 10 previously unbeaten opponents.
Also featured on the card is unbeaten Scottish middleweight Sam Hickey (5-0, 2 KOs), who returns after making an explosive Zuffa Boxing debut earlier this month with a highlight-reel knockout of previously unbeaten Todd Tompkins. Hickey faces the toughest challenge of his young professional career when he meets Brad "The Axe Man" Axe (5-1)in an eight-round middleweight contest. Featherweight Dylan Eagleson, who hails from Bangor, Northern Ireland, will make his pro debut in a six-rounder.
As announced earlier today, Irish standouts light heavyweight "Mighty" Joe Ward (12-1, 8 KOs) and middleweight KO artist Stevie McKenna (16-1, 15 KOs) have officially joined the Zuffa Boxing 10 lineup. Opponents and additional fight details will be announced in the coming weeks.
