Akeem Ennis-Brown is challenging Tyrone McKenna for his ‘call out king’ crown in a bid to ensure he gets the chance to challenge the Belfast fighter for his WBC International ranking title.
Ennis-Brown [13(1)-0] took an IBF ranking title off Darragh Foley late last year and now wants another Irish scalp and the opportunity to take another trinket from an Irish mantle piece.
The 23 year old wasn’t long about calling out the six foot plus southpaw post his Ulster Hall win over now shared foe Darragh Foley last month, asking the Danny Vaughan trained puncher if he would ‘step up or act like a bitch?’.
McKenna [19(6)-1] responded in good humour, but did point out he was now chasing bigger names than ‘Riddy’.
Not to be denied the English fighter stepped it up a level this week and got ‘Missing’ t-shirts printed of his fellow MTK fighter.
In a move that McKenna, as a call out practitioner would may respect, the English fighter published the pictures online along with another call out.
The IBF European ranking title holder produced an out of the box ‘missing’ approach to his call out in a bid to stoke interest in the fight and potentially get under the skin of a fighter he wants to face.
