McKenna and Oliha will be competing for the IBF's vacant middleweight championship, with McKenna arriving as the organization's third-ranked contender while Oliha, 28, is a spot higher at No. 2. The title has been vacant since previous claimant Janibek Alimkhanuly was stripped in March after a failed drug test.

Ring Magazine has Oliha ranked fifth at 160 with McKenna at No. 6.

McKenna last fought in April 2025 and scored a unanimous 12-round decision over former 154-pound champ Liam Smith in London, while Oliha has been inactive since stopping Alexander Pavlov in Round 3 in September 2024 in Germany.
