Sky Sports Champions League •

Lee Cutler and Stephen McKenna reignite their rivalry ahead of Zuffa Boxing 07 at Bournemouth International Centre this Saturday, marking their first shared card since that epic December 2024 middleweight clash. Cutler ended McKenna's perfect record via majority decision, flooring him twice in a grueling contest that followed intense pre-fight tensions.

McKenna returns from his first professional loss, facing American James Street as he targets a summer Dublin homecoming instead of revisiting the Cutler matchup. The Irishman insists he 'built up Cutler's career' and shows little interest in a rematch, focusing on impressing Dana White and securing bigger fights in Ireland.

Cutler, meanwhile, ends a 14-month ring absence following a controversial technical decision loss to Sam Eggington. He faces Aaron Sutton in his hometown, calling it a must-win fight to regain momentum. Both fighters have expressed willingness to rematch if victorious Saturday night.

The event headlines with Chris Billam-Smith versus Ryan Rozicki, live on Sky Sports from 7pm. Cutler promises 'chaos' in his comeback while McKenna aims for first-round knockout before shifting focus to his Irish ambitions.
