A Dublin first
Boxing is having a moment in Ireland. Tonight, Zuffa Boxing runs its first-ever show in the country, at Dublin’s 3Arena.
The headliner is a local. Aaron McKenna faces Etinosa Oliha for the vacant IBF middleweight title. A home bout with a world belt on the line. The kind of night the arena remembers.
Try it for $0.99.
Everything riding on McKenna
For McKenna, this is the one. A first world title, within reach, in front of his own crowd. Chances like that don’t come around often.
Oliha didn’t fly in to fill a slot. The challenger has everything to win and nothing to protect, which usually makes for a spiky, open fight.
A night that matters
The result is only half of it. Zuffa Boxing, the promotion spun out of the UFC, has planted a flag in one of the sport’s heartlands. Ireland lives for boxing. Hard to script better timing.
