Aaron McKenna captures IBF middleweight title in Dublin

Aaron McKenna secured the IBF middleweight championship with a decision victory over Etinosa Oliha at Zuffa Boxing 10 in Dublin on August 8, 2026. The judges scored the bout 116-112, 117-111, and 118-110 in favor of McKenna, who improved his record to 21-0, including 10 knockouts. This fight marked McKenna's first title match in his home country as a professional. The IBF title became vacant in 2025 after the previous champion was stripped due to a failed drug test, paving the way for McKenna’s opportunity. He now looks to establish himself as a leading figure in a relatively weak middleweight division.
