Aaron McKenna challenges Chris Eubank Jr to fight in Ireland
Middleweight Aaron McKenna has called out Chris Eubank Jr to cross the Irish Sea for a clash. The invitation follows McKenna's latest bout in Dublin and targets one of Britain's most recognisable names.
“Come to Ireland and try to get a win for the Eubank name”

What Aaron McKenna said
McKenna campaigns at middleweight, the division Eubank Jr has fought in for most of his career. The Irishman is building his profile on home soil while Eubank Jr remains a major draw in the UK market. A crossover bout would pit McKenna's rising stock against Eubank Jr's established pedigree in the 160lb ranks.
What it moves
The challenge puts the ball in Eubank Jr's court. McKenna is framing it as a chance for Eubank Jr to claim a win away from his British base. Whether Eubank Jr entertains a trip to Ireland or counters with his own demands will shape the next phase of negotiations.
