Monaghan's teen boxing prodigy Aaron McKenna signs endorsement deal with Adidas

The Smithborough star will be kitted out in adidas boxing gear for the next two years at least.

MONAGHAN WELTERWEIGHT BOXER Aaron McKenna has penned a lucrative endorsement deal with sportswear giants adidas, The42 can confirm.

The 19-year-old ‘Silencer’ from Smithborough will be kitted out in adidas boxing gear for the duration of the two-year deal.

McKenna, Ireland’s second-youngest professional boxer and the youngest on Golden Boy Promotions’ books, has won his first five pro fights — three of them quick — since turning over last year.

A decorated amateur at underage level, McKenna earned a 40-36 x3 unanimous decision victory over game Mexican Rolando Mendivil following four explosive rounds in Hollywood back in August, and could fight twice more before the year is out.
