To be honest, it’s not just the Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor Benn grudge match that would be interesting to watch on Saturday night. The undercard includes an entire entertainment package. Aaron McKenna, the Irish boxer, will be fighting Liam Smith at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London. It will be for the vacant WBA international middleweight title. And the April 26 bout is going to be Smith’s first fight deal under Matchroom Boxing. Undefeated at 19-0, McKenna proves to be a challenging opponent for Smith, especially since the latter is returning to the ring after a 2-year hiatus.

Let’s not forget the fact that ‘The Silencer’ emerged victorious in the revamped Prizefighter tournament in Japan in August last year. The win has given him some good momentum. And the high-stakes middleweight competition even brought him $1 million in prize money. But that’s not all. The 25-year-old, while young, has made a handful of fortunes through his boxing career. While you get ready to enjoy his solid performance on fight night, here’s everything to know about Aaron McKenna’s net worth in 2025 and beyond.

Aaron McKenna’s 2025 net worth and endorsements

According to Sporty Salaries, Aaron McKenna’s net worth is more than $800k. His earnings currently come from fight purses, endorsement deals, and pay-per-view revenue. So you could say that is what makes up his salary. As an emerging talent in the middleweight division, he’s doing great. Decorated with an amateur background (8-time Irish national champion, European Schoolboy gold), he decided to turn pro at 18. His focus remains on building a professional career, right now under Golden Boy Promotions in Los Angeles.

Apart from boxing income, McKenna also earns through a known sponsorship from Flack Brothers Monaghan and Peugeot Ireland. But he could also have other local Irish sponsors that are not revealed to the public ear. As for endorsements, sure, McKenna’s marketability has increased significantly in recent years. To be precise, his performance against Jeovanny Estela (14-0, 5 KOs) in Osaka, Japan, last year and his WBC international middleweight title win in 2023 have elevated his status in the sport. In the Irish boxing scene, he and his brothers Stevie and Gary (who are also professional boxers) seem to be leveraging the collective success.

Though compared to top-tier boxers like Canelo Álvarez ($365 million DAZN deal) or Gervonta Davis ($10 million net worth with Nike and Reebok deals), he’s still too young to be earning in that range. Speaking of which, let’s take a detailed look at the boxer’s recent fight purses.

How much does Aaron McKenna earn? Boxing fight purse & salary

If we look at the last few bouts McKenna had, his fight purses usually range from $20k to $75k. When he fought with David Benitez and Jordan Grant in 2022 and 2023, respectively, he’d earned $50k in the purse split. Continuing to rise the ladder, he got a $75k share fighting against Uisma Lima and Mickey Ellison. Then, only last year, his bout with Jeovanny Estela brought him $30k. Sure, the purse is not that high compared to other high-end boxers. But it can be agreed upon that McKenna is yet to reach his career prime.

And he’s slowly getting there. For high-profile, PPV-heavy bouts like the one he’s about to have just a few days from now against Liam Smith, his purse even goes up to around $133k. This is what Sporty Salaries reports. McKenna is going to get to have additional revenue from the event as well. Because the Benn-Eubank Jr. card will broadcast live on DAZN PPV, potentially topping his earnings above the $133k purse.

Right now, his purse or salary history doesn’t look very great as compared to the top competition in the sport. But he’s already gaining a strong fan base. Which would only grow further if his performance against Liam Smith in the upcoming bout is strong. That sort of an upset would surely boost McKenna’s marketability. Potentially, he could even get a shot at fighting the winner of the main card next. Who knows? And then, he’d have higher purses, along with bigger brand deals from the UK and Irish markets.
