Tyrone McKenna to turn pro

Tyrone McKenna  looks set to be the latest talented Belfast fighter to ditch the vest and head gear, as he heads to America on June 6 to sign pro.

The Oliver Plunket fighter won bronze in the  Junior Olympics, seven Irish titles at various levels and is an Ulster senior Champion, but like former Olympic Youth gold medallist Ryan Burnett has elected to go pro in an Olympic year.

McKenna will sign with a yet to be named American based promoter next month.

    Facts are completely wrong about Tyrone . Firstly he didnt win bronze in the worlds . Tyrone McCullagh didnt win the seniors this year. And McKenna was at 64k where as McCullagh was at 60k

    it doesnt say he won bronze in the worlds it says he won bronze in junior olympics which were held in lithuwainia in 2008, and all that invovled tyrone mccullagh was the picture which has since been fixed…
