Following his impressive knockout win in Dublin, Stevie McKenna is now focused on a highly anticipated all-Irish clash with Callum Walsh, according to his manager Mike Borao. McKenna's recent victory over Owen O'Neill, which quickly went viral on social media, has set the stage for a potential showdown with Walsh, who also emerged victorious on the same bill against Tyler Denny. Borao revealed that McKenna is fixated on this matchup, suggesting it could take place in a major stadium in either Ireland or New York.
The manager also hinted at the possibility of McKenna facing WBA world champion Erislandy Lara in the future. With McKenna's recent string of first-round knockout wins, including his victory over Casey James Streeter in June, he is poised for a major opportunity.
His manager, who has successfully guided other notable fighters such as Frank Sanchez and Teofimo Lopez, believes that McKenna is on the cusp of landing a significant fight, thanks in part to the support of Zuffa and Sky Sports.
