Jamie Conlan is looking forward to a thrilling rematch between Tyrone McKenna (24-1, 6 KOs) and Mohamed Mimoune (23-6, 4 KOs) at Belfast's SSE Arena on August 3. This fight comes four years after their initial controversial match at London's York Hall in the Golden Contract Super Lightweight series, where McKenna's victory by unanimous decision faced heavy criticism, as many believed Mimoune should have been the winner. McKenna, returning from a brief retirement, aims to settle the score and potentially end his career on a high note with this upcoming bout.
The intense rivalry between McKenna and Mimoune fuels the anticipation for this rematch. Conlan describes the bout as "filled with animosity," highlighting that no titles or additional stakes are needed because the personal feud itself is captivating enough. For McKenna, who grappled with thoughts of retirement, this fight presents an opportunity to right the perceived wrongs of their previous encounter and to headline at the SSE Arena—a personal goal he seeks to achieve.
Both fighters have eagerly awaited this rematch since their exciting clash in 2020, which was hailed as a potential fight of the year candidate. Following his defeat to Lewis Crocker last December, McKenna's announcement of retirement initially put the rematch on hold indefinitely. However, his return to boxing reignited hopes for this showdown, leading both fighters to promptly agree upon resuming their rivalry once again.
