Stevie McKenna signs deal with Zuffa Boxing and returns to action on June 6 Bournemouth bill, live on Sky Sports

Stevie McKenna has signed a long-term deal with Zuffa Boxing and will return to action on June 6, live on Your Site.

On the Zuffa Boxing 07 bill at the Bournemouth International Centre, headlined by Chris Billam-Smith vs Ryan Rozicki, McKenna will fight American veteran Casey James Streeter.

Irish contender McKenna is always exciting to watch. He delivered thrilling fights in the UK in 2024. A three-round war with Joe Laws saw McKenna hit the canvas but ultimately prevail as he dropped Laws four times in all.

In another tremendous clash, he was edged out by Lee Cutler on a majority decision over 10 rounds in their fight in Liverpool.

Rivals McKenna and Cutler will both fight in separate bouts on the June 6 bill in the latter's Bournemouth hometown.

His loss to Cutler in that all-action classic is the sole defeat McKenna has suffered in his professional career.

McKenna was an amateur standout, winning gold medals at the Haringey Box Cup and Commonwealth Youth Games before turning pro in 2019.

Before he met Cutler he went on a 15 bout winning streak, taking 14 of those victories inside the distance.

He has registered 11 of those knockouts in three rounds or less.

Streeter, his opponent on June 6, has a 15-3-2 (6) record. From Portland, Maine Streeter makes his UK debut following a stoppage defeat to Leo Ruiz on Zuffa Boxing 03.

Zuffa Boxing 07 will be broadcast live on Your Site in the UK and Ireland. As well as the battle between Bournemouth's hometown hero Billam-Smith and Canadian KO artist Rozicki, an all-British chief support pits long-time cruiserweight contenders Jack Massey and Cheavon Clarke against one another.

Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via .
