Tyrone McKenna will face Mohamed Mimoune in a 10-round super lightweight bout at SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Both fighters come with significant experience, carrying impressive records into the ring.
McKenna made his professional debut in 2012 and has fought notable opponents like Regis Prograis and Chris Jenkins. With a career spanning over a decade, he has faced diverse competition but suffered losses against highly skilled adversaries, indicating a challenge when stepping up in class. Mimoune turned pro two years earlier than McKenna and carries a mixed record from recent fights, including a loss to Batyrzhan Jukembayev but triumphed over Steven Galeano. His inconsistent performance shows vulnerability against strong opponents yet resilience that could change a fight's course.
Tyrone McKenna faces Mohamed Mimoune in a super light class bout.
Tyrone McKenna, an experienced southpaw from Ireland, turned pro in 2012. He has fought 28 bouts with a record of 23 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw. His last match was a unanimous decision loss to Lewis Crocker, who had an undefeated record and strong knockout power. Since Mimoune has less knockout power compared to Crocker, McKenna may have an advantage in enduring the upcoming fight without significant damage.
Mohamed Mimoune also turned professional in 2010 and has compiled a fight record of 23 wins and 6 losses over 29 bouts. His last fight ended in a unanimous decision loss to Batyrzhan Jukembayev, a strong fighter with high knockout stats. Facing McKenna, who just lost against another boxer with notable knockout capability but lower than Jukembayev's suggests that Mimoune might struggle against fighters who can handle power hitters effectively.
Owen O’Neill will face Dylan Moran for the BUI Celtic Welterweight Title.
Owen O'Neill, known as "The Operator," has maintained an undefeated record of 13 wins, showcasing minimal knockout power with just a single KO. Turning pro in 2019, his last fight against Edgar Kemsky ended in a win by points. Considering his recent opponents like Kemsky displayed relatively weak records, O'Neill might find it challenging dealing with Moran’s more robust track record and higher knockout rate in the super welter division.
Dylan Moran, "The Real Deal," carries a professional record of 18 wins and 2 losses with a substantial KO rate of 44.44%. Since starting his career in 2017, his last bout was a loss by TKO to Florian Marku - a fighter with impressive strength and a high win ratio. This kind of challenge makes him tested for resilience against strong opponents. His enhanced experience and proven capability to knock out opponents gives him potential advantages over O'Neill, set against similar weight classes.
Ruadhan Farrell faces Gerard Hughes for the BUI Celtic Super Bantamweight Title.
Ruadhan Farrell turned pro in 2022 and has a record of 5 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, with two of those wins by knockout. His last fight ended in a points win against Connor Kerr, who had a less experienced record. Given Farrell’s experience and fighting quality as seen against Kerr, his upcoming matchup with Hughes is promising given the draw from their last encounter.
Gerard Hughes, also starting his professional career in 2022, has maintained an undefeated record of 5 wins and 1 draw. His previous fight was a victory over Luke Fash, who had a weaker record. Considering this win and the prior draw against Farrell, Hughes might find an advantage if he has improved since their last meeting, ensuring an intense rematch with Farrell.
Fearghus Quinn will face Aston Brown in a middleweight clash without any belts on the line.
Quinn turned pro in 2020 and holds an undefeated record of 9 wins, with 3 by knockout. His last fight was a win on points against Angel Emilov, who has a poor fight record. Given Quinn’s continued success and his fighting style as a southpaw, he appears poised for another victory, especially when considering Brown's lesser knockout power.
Brown also started his career undefeated with six wins but has less knockout power than Quinn. His recent win through technical knockout against Edgar Romero shows his capability but facing Quinn might be demanding, considering Romero's own inconsistent performances and Quinn’s unbeaten streak within the same weight division.
Caoimhin Agyarko faces Tomi Silvennoinen in a super welterweight clash with no titles on the line.
Caoimhin Agyarko turned pro in 2018 and holds an undefeated record with 14 wins, half of them by KO. His recent victory was a split decision against experienced fighter Troy Williamson, showing he can handle high-level competition. The win against Williamson, who has a stronger knockout ratio than Silvennoinen, suggests Agyarko might find Silvennoinen's challenge manageable but should remain cautious against his power.
Tomi Silvennoinen, with a professional career starting in 2014, has a record of 12 wins and 4 losses; 7 of these wins were by KO. His last fight was an unanimous decision over Alex Privat, whose record is less impressive compared to Agyarko’s past opponents. Drawing from his experiences and facing higher caliber opponents like Agyarko would test Silvennoinen's ability to step up his game. With a relatively high KO rate, he brings significant striking power into the ring.
Dean Gonzalez Furlong will face Paul Scaife in a welterweight bout.
Dean turned pro in April 2024 and debuted with a knockout victory against Gabor Kovacs, highlighting his powerful striking ability. Based on his recent fight where he overpowered an experienced fighter, Dean seems well-matched for success against Paul Scaife who has struggled significantly against less formidable opponents.
Paul Scaife, despite being more experienced since turning pro in 2019, has won only once in 46 bouts, with no KO victories. His recent loss to Keanan Holford shows continued vulnerabilities that Dean could capitalize on, given his knockout prowess and minimal damage sustained in past fights.
