West Belfast favourite Tyrone McKenna took on Limerick’s Paddy Donovan on the Taylor Pili undercard. Tyrone hasn’t fought since his victory over Dylan Moran last September on the Donovan-Crocker card where Donovan lost by split decision. This was his second loss at the hands of Crocker which sent him down and out of title contention and left to rebuild. This started in May where he beat Ukranian Karen Chukhadzhian. With world title hopes Donovan knew he couldn’t afford to lose this one. As for McKenna, who retired briefly in 2023, the only pressure he feels is to make it a good fight for the fans.
