McKenna Defeats Smith – Liam Dropped in Final Round

On April 26 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, UK, 36-year-old Liam Smith (33-5-1, 20 KOs) squared off against 25-year-old Irish talent Aaron McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs) for the WBA International middleweight title.

McKenna dominated the fight, winning by unanimous decision: 119-108, 117-109, and 118-108 on the judges’ scorecards.

In the 12th round, Smith hit the canvas after a vicious body shot from McKenna — a moment that sealed the prospect’s commanding performance.

Smith hadn’t fought since 2023, a year that saw him first defeat, then lose to Chris Eubank Jr. McKenna entered this bout riding a wave of momentum, with two consecutive stoppage victories, and showcased both skill and maturity to remain unbeaten.
