Aaron ‘The Silencer’ McKenna has a professional record consisting of 19 wins and no defeats with 10 wins coming by KO. Now 25 years old, Aaron became the youngest Irishman to turn pro at the age of 18. Hailing from Co. Monaghan, Ireland.

The youngest of 3 boxing brothers, Aaron has had an astonishingly successful amateur career. He captained Ireland 5 times in international boxing and racked up 161 fights with only 9 losses. He is an 8-time national champion, medaling with a gold medal at the European schoolboy championships and also medaling at the European junior championships. In 2017, he won a world multi-nation gold medal in Russia. That win catapulted him to exciting heights and he was the talk of the Irish and international boxing community.

Aaron was tapped to represent Ireland in the 2020 Tokyo games as Ireland's hopeful to bring home a gold medal, but he opted to turn professional on his 18th Birthday. Aaron signed with a powerhouse promotional company, Golden Boy Promotions, and got his chance to showcase his abilities on Sat, Dec 9th, 2017, live on USA TV at the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas. Winning convincingly against a very Travis Conley, hailing from Houston. After the 4-round shutout, Conley was quoted as saying he had just lost to a future world champion. The Silencer, as he's dubbed himself, left the crowd roaring for more of this young teen.

Aaron was trained by hall of fame trainer Freddie Roach while in the USA and is now trained by his father, Fergal McKenna, and he is based in Ireland. Aaron has been quoted as saying he intends to become a world champion by the time he's 24, bold and lofty goals, many would say, but from his incredible debut, that dream doesn't seem so far-fetched.
