McKenna stops Streeter, Cutler calls for Dublin rematch

Stephen McKenna returned after a 539‑day layoff, stopping Casey James Streeter in 64 seconds at Bournemouth. The Irishman unleashed a brutal left hook, followed by a flurry that sent Streeter to the canvas and forced the referee to halt the bout after just over a minute. The stoppage marked McKenna’s 15th career knockout and a swift answer to his December loss to Lee Cutler.

Cutler rebounded with a third‑round TKO of Aaron Sutton, the fight ending when Sutton’s shoulder dislocated from a powerful right hand. The victory was Cutler’s first since the controversial defeat by Sam Eggington last April and fueled his demand for a rematch, declaring he would travel to Dublin and sell more tickets than McKenna. He labeled McKenna “boring” and dismissed a showdown as irrelevant.

Both fighters now sit atop the middleweight buzz as Zuffa Boxing rolls out shows in Las Vegas (June 28), New York (July 26) and Dublin (August 8). McKenna is slated for the Irish card, while Lee Cutler hopes the Dublin venue will host their clash, a bout that could settle the rivalry and boost ticket sales. The upcoming events keep Sky Sports’ boxing audience engaged through the summer.
