Episode Details

Aaron McKenna just claimed the IBF middleweight title — the first for his county in 40 years — celebrated with a police escort back home, a moment that thrilled him and his community. At just 27, he’s already ranked 3 in the world and says the win hasn’t slowed him down; it’s fueled his hunger to unify the division. His journey began with a transformative trip to America as a teen, where he and his brother trained in tough California gyms, relying on each other and their mom’s support. That experience, he insists, is vital for Irish fighters. He’s also determined to give back to his dad, who sacrificed his career to fund their boxing dreams — and now, McKenna’s world championship is his way of honoring that legacy.
