McKenna has the chance to become Ireland's newest world champion when he takes on Italy's Etinosa Oliha at Zuffa Boxing 10 in Dublin's 3Arena on August 8, live on Sky Sports.

With three blockbuster cards coming to Dublin across August and September, Irish boxing is preparing for one of its biggest periods in recent memory. But beyond the action in the ring, the sport itself is undergoing major change.

The lads discuss Aaron's world title opportunity, the resurgence of Irish boxing and the shifting landscape of the professional game, from rival promoters to the influence of Saudi investment. What does it all mean for boxing's future?
