AARON McKENNA STRETCHED his unbeaten record to 17-0 with an highly impressive victory over Uisma Lima at London’s York Hall on Friday.
The Monaghan native took a unanimous decision [100-91, 98-92, and 98-93] victory after coming through an entertaining 10 round-bout against the Angolan southpaw, who entered the fight with a record of 10-0 [8KOS] and tested the 23-year-old throughout.
MCKENNA WINS! 🇮🇪 ✨

After powering to the biggest win of his career, McKenna will now move into the WBC top 20 middleweight ranking list.
“I thought I had him gone a few times, but he just kept coming back,” said McKenna, who claimed the vacant World Boxing Council international middleweight belt.
McKenna had originally been scheduled to face Sheffield’s Shakiel Thompson [10-0, 6KOs] before Thompson withdrew through injury.

Fair play delighted for Mcarthy would love to see him get a shot at Celtic
@James Dundon: part of me would but it would be a step back for him. Celtic needs a serious overhaul if they are to regain their greatness and its really high time Scottish teams joined the English leagues.
He’ll do okay at this level for sure
@Noel Doherty: did alrite at International level aswell.
