June 5, 2026 – Zuffa Boxing heads to Dublin’s 3Arena on Saturday, August 8, for a stacked summer showdown featuring undefeated Irish middleweight stars Aaron McKenna, who will be making his long-awaited first professional fight in Ireland, and “King” Callum Walsh, the popular southpaw from nearby Cork. 

The 12-round main event of ZUFFA BOXING 10: MCKENNA VS. OLIHA features a middleweight world championship fight between a pair of unbeaten talents. McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs) takes on Italy’s Etinosa Oliha (22-0, 10 KOs) in the first middleweight world title fight on Irish soil in more than three decades. This will mark the first fight for McKenna in his home country where he was a standout amateur with more than 150 wins and eight national championships. McKenna, 26, returns to the ring following a dominating decision victory over former world champion Liam Smith in April 2025. The 27-year-old Oliha will look to spoil McKenna’s homecoming as he takes on the fifth unbeaten fighter of his professional career.

In the 10-round co-feature, Callum Walsh (16-0, 11 KOs) returns to 3Arena, where he first fought in 2024 and earned a memorable second-round knockout victory over Przemyslaw Runowski. In his second fight under the Zuffa Boxing banner, the 25-year-old Walsh will take on England’s Tyler Denny (21-4-3, 1 KO), a fellow southpaw who has faced 10 undefeated fighters and competed in nearly three times as many professional rounds. 

Additional information on the event will be announced in the coming weeks. 

Media can apply for credentials to the event via Access

The event will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada.
