What time and TV channel is Liam Smith v Aaron McKenna on tonight?

Aaron McKenna puts his undefeated record on the line in the toughest test of his career to date when he faces Liam Smith.

The middleweight bout comes on the Chris Eubank Jr v Conor Benn card at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.

McKenna's record stands at 19-0, with 10 KOs, but former world champion Smith is a big step up in opponent for 'The Silencer'.

However, the Liverpool native (33-4-1) has been out of the ring since he was stopped by Eubank Jr in the tenth round of their rematch in September 2023, eight months after Smith knocked him out in Manchester.

And McKenna, who is the favourite with the bookies to emerge victorious, is very confident that he will have his hand raised in victory.

A win for the Smithborough man would open up a lot of opportunities and very much be life changing. It would also see him crowned the WBA International Middleweight champion.

Quotes corner

Aaron McKenna: "I understand there is a lot of people saying this is too soon for me, it's too early and I'm too young. I don't have the experience but it's my time to show everyone that all the training, all the hard work, all the experience I've had through the years will pay off. On Saturday night I look forward to it.

"I want to beat the beat version of Liam Smith and I do expect the best version of Liam Smith to turn up. I want the one that knocked out Chris Eubank. I believe that's the one that his coming. It was only two fights ago that he knocked out Chris Eubank Jr in devastating fashion. That's the one I do hope that shows up."

Liam Smith: "I've had a tough 12 months. 18 months since I lost to Chris. Getting injured after it, falling ill for the huge September card at Wembley. It's good to be back. It's good to be back fit and healthy, back in shape. I'm looking forward to this. The best Liam Smith turns up, Aaron McKenna is made for me. That's the one I fully intent to turn up.

"Him and his brother, they're kind of the same thing. They're game. They're very hungry, enthusiastic kids. I also feel that's going to be Aaron's downfall."
