MONAGHAN LIGHT-WELTERWEIGHT STEVIE McKenna will return to the ring for his third professional bout on the third of next month — Saturday week — at the Event Center in Hawaiian Gardens, California.
The 22-year-old ‘Hitman’ has won both of his paid bouts so far, each of them inside the opening round, and will look to continue that streak against an as-of-yet-unconfirmed opponent in 11 days’ time.
A former Irish Senior Elite champion and decorated international amateur, Stevie turned professional a year after his Golden Boy-promoted younger sibling but spent a year training alongside him in California before making his own bow in the punch-for-pay ranks.
Like Aaron, the hard-hitting 140-pounder is managed by Sheer Sports.
