McKenna to take on unbeaten Eubank in March fight

Belfast welterweight Tyrone McKenna will go up against Harlem Eubank in Brighton on 7 March.

McKenna will return to action after his victory over Dylan Moran in an all-Irish showdown last month.

Eubank maintained his unbeaten record by beating Nurali Erdogan on points in Newcastle in November.

"McKenna is a fan friendly, aggressive fighter who's competed at the elite world level - it's a real exciting fight, and that's exactly what I'm in this game for," said 31-year-old Eubank, who is a cousin of Chris Eubank Jnr.

"There's also a rich history between the Eubanks and Irish fighters. On March 7, I'll add a new chapter."

McKenna is relishing taking on the nephew of Chris Eubank Snr at the Brighton Centre.

"I am licking my lips at the prospect of going into Eubank's hometown on 7 March, meeting him in the middle of the ring, and going into battle," he added.

"Harlem has never met anyone like me in his career, not even close, and when the leather starts flying, he will soon realise there's no easy way out."
