Zuffa Boxing 10: Aaron McKenna fights for the IBF world title and Callum Walsh returns on Dublin show on August 8

Aaron McKenna faces Etinosa Oliha for the vacant IBF world middleweight title and Callum Walsh returns on Zuffa Boxing 10 at 3Arena in Dublin on Saturday August 8.

McKenna can become Ireland's newest world champion when he takes on Italian Oliha, while fellow Irishman middleweight Walsh resumes his pursuit of major titles on the same bill, live on Your Site.

In his second fight under the Zuffa Boxing banner, 25-year-old Walsh (16-0, 11 KOs) will take on England’s Tyler Denny (21-4-3), a fellow southpaw who has faced 10 undefeated fighters and competed in nearly three times as many professional rounds.

For McKenna, he delivered a career-best performance in his last fight, flooring former world champion Liam Smith twice in a dominant points win on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr's first fight against Conor Benn last April.

McKenna will be making his long-awaited first professional fight in Ireland where he was a standout amateur with more than 150 wins and eight national championships.

His opponent Oliha is a fellow unbeaten contender, who has racked up 22 wins with 10 stoppages ahead of his first fight at world title level.

The event will mark the first middleweight world title fight on Irish soil in more than three decades.

Walsh has boosted his reputation with a string of impressive victories in America, including an emphatic points win over Fernando Vargas Jr, while the Cork southpaw closed out a unanimous decision victory over the dangerous Carlos Ocampo in his last fight in January.

Fans are encouraged to register their interest early for the best chance to secure tickets via .

Zuffa Boxing 10 will mark the promotion's second card outside of the United States, following on from Chris Billam-Smith facing Ryan Rozicki in a 10-round cruiserweight main event in Bournemouth this Saturday June 6.

Following Saturday's action in Bournemouth, further Zuffa Boxing shows are scheduled in Las Vegas on June 28 and New York on July 26 ahead of their first Irish show the following month.

Zuffa Boxing 08 in Las Vegas includes Edwin De Los Santos facing Jose 'Rayo' Valenzuela in a 10-round rematch of their memorable 2022 fight-of-the-year contender, while the line-up for the New York show has yet to be announced.
