On the eve of their debut transatlantic show Saturday in Bournemouth, England, the upstart promotion announced that Zuffa Boxing 10 will be headlined by Ireland’s Aaron McKenna and Italy’s Etinosa Oliha for the vacant IBF middleweight title.

In the co-feature, Callum Walsh, who is from nearby Cork, takes on England’s Tyler Denny in a 10-round middleweight matchup.

McKenna and Oliha will be fighting for the IBF title previously held by Janibek Alimkhanuly, who was stripped of his belt in March after testing positive for a banned substance, Meldonium, in November. The winner of McKenna-Oliha must later defend the title against the recently named mandatory challenger, Amari Jones.

McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs) hasn’t fought since April of last year, when he scored a career-best unanimous decision win against Liam Smith. The occasion against Oliha marks the first time the Irish amateur standout McKenna is fighting on home soil.

Oliha (22-0, 10 KOs) has cruised past obscure opposition in Italy and Germany, and McKenna undoubtedly presents the toughest test of his eight-year career.

Walsh (16-0, 11 KOs), meanwhile, returns for his second Zuffa showcase slot after headlining their first-ever event in January with a 10-round unanimous decision win against Carlos Ocampo. Walsh is seeking a statement win after a trio of anticlimactic decision victories.

Having previously faced 10 unbeatens in the British boxing circuit, Denny (21-4-3, 1 KO) should give the still-developing Walsh a stiff test. Denny last fought in March and suffered a unanimous decision defeat against George Liddard. The loss ended Denny’s brief two-fight winning streak following a second-round stoppage against Hamzah Sheeraz in September 2024.
