McKenna has shared the ring with several established names during a long professional career and brings the experience of numerous high-profile contests into the all-Irish clash.
For Donovan, victory at Croke Park would represent another important step toward world-level contention. McKenna, however, has the opportunity to upset his fellow Irishman and produce one of the biggest wins of his career in front of a huge Dublin crowd.

Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili: Live Results and Updates on the Fight

Molly McCann (5-0) defeated Sylwia Doligala (8-3-2) by unanimous decision after eight rounds in their super bantamweight bout. The judges scored the fight 80-72, 80-73, and 79-73. McCann controlled the action from the opening bell with steady pressure, a high work rate, and combinations to the head and body. Doligala remained durable but spent much of the contest moving backward and struggling to establish her offense. The accumulated punches left Doligala with swelling beneath one eye and blood on her vest by the later rounds. McCann completed the eight-round distance comfortably and earned her fifth win since leaving mixed martial arts for professional boxing.
Super bantamweight Joe McGrail (14-0, 7 KOs) stopped Matthew Boreland (7-1) with a left hook to the body in the fifth round of a 10-round scheduled bout. The win earned McGrail the vacant WBA Continental Gold title. Boreland fought competitively from the opening bell and began building momentum as the rounds progressed. McGrail remained composed, worked to the body, and found the decisive opening late in the fifth. His sharp left hook dropped Boreland, who remained down for the referee’s full count. The stoppage gave the 23-year-old Liverpool southpaw his seventh knockout and handed Boreland his first professional defeat.
Paddy Gallagher (17-6-1 entering) was initially announced as the majority decision winner over Paul Ryan (11-2 entering) after six competitive middleweight rounds. The score was given as 58-55 for Gallagher, but later reports stated that the referee’s card had been read incorrectly. The actual score was reported as 58-56 for Ryan, leaving the announced result subject to an official correction. Gallagher applied steady pressure and used his experience to force exchanges throughout the fight. The taller Ryan worked from his southpaw stance, boxing at range and looking to counter the advancing Belfast veteran. There were no knockdowns, and the result remained in question while the fighters’ official records were being updated.
Bobbi Flood (4-0, 2 KOs) defeated Jack Swallow (4-14-1) by unanimous decision over four rounds in a junior middleweight fight. The referee scored the contest 40-36, giving Flood every round. The 21-year-old Dublin native controlled the action from the opening bell with his cleaner and more consistent punching. Flood used his amateur experience to outbox Swallow, who remained durable but offered little effective offense. No knockdowns occurred as Flood continued piling up points without placing himself in unnecessary exchanges. The Croke Park crowd supported the local prospect throughout his comfortable points win.
Heavyweight prospect Adam Olaniyan (4-0, 4 KOs) overwhelmed Matej Hudak (6-3, 6 KOs) for a first-round stoppage on the preliminary card. The aggressive 20-year-old immediately closed the distance, established his jab, and hurt the much heavier Hudak with combinations upstairs.
A sustained flurry sent Hudak to a knee as blood flowed from his nose and face. Referee Emile Tiedt stopped the fight after Hudak covered up without returning fire. Eddie Hearn is extremely high on Olaniyan, who has the raw talent and marketability to become Matchroom’s flagship heavyweight after Anthony Joshua retires.
