Etinosa Oliha has warned Aaron McKenna that he cannot offer anything new when they clash for the vacant IBF middleweight title in Dublin on August 8. Speaking to Sky Sports, the Italian said his work‑rate will outpace the 27-year-old and that he will hurt him. “I will win this fight, and I will hurt him,” Oliha told the network.

McKenna, backed by vocal fans at 3Arena, seeks to become Ireland’s newest world champion. He remains unfazed by Oliha’s confidence, noting that the arena’s noise will not disturb him in the ring. The 27‑year‑old also aims to unify all titles, a dream that would bring great pride to Italian boxing.

Both fighters carry an unbeaten record, and Oliha sees the IBF belt as a stepping stone to other world titles. He believes this victory will put Italy back on the radar of world champions.

Fans can watch the bout live on Sky Sports, with the fight set to be a showcase of skill, ambition and the sharpness that defines middleweight boxing.
