Biography
Tyrone McKenna, born March 3, 1990, is an Irish professional boxer. Competing in the welterweight division, McKenna has established himself as a fan-favorite due to his high-energy performances and willingness to take on tough opponents. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch, his size and reach give him a unique advantage in the welterweight class, allowing him to dictate fights with his jab and movement.
Born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, McKenna developed a passion for boxing at an early age and honed his skills in the city's amateur circuit. His journey into the professional ranks began in 2012 when he made his debut in Atlantic City, securing a unanimous decision victory. Over the years, he has competed in high-profile bouts against notable opponents, including Regis Prograis, Ohara Davies, and Lewis Crocker. McKenna has captured several regional titles, including the WBC International and WBO Inter-Continental super lightweight titles, cementing his reputation as a top-level competitor in the UK and European boxing scenes.
McKenna’s career has been marked by thrilling battles and a fearless approach to facing elite competition. His bouts against Ohara Davies and Mohamed Mimoune showcased his ability to stand toe-to-toe with some of the best in the division, displaying both durability and technical skill. One of his most anticipated fights took place against Regis Prograis in 2022, where he suffered a stoppage loss but gained immense respect for his warrior mentality. Despite setbacks, McKenna continues to push for big fights, bouncing back with a TKO victory over Dylan Moran in December 2024.
