By Joe Laws has issued a stern warning to Stephen McKenna, claiming that McKenna has never faced anyone with his tenacity, nastiness, and will to win. Laws is dismissive of McKenna’s sparring sessions with Terence Crawford, suggesting that it won’t help him in their upcoming fight.
Laws and McKenna are set to fight at Oakwell Stadium in Barnsley on August 3, live on Sky Sports. Laws believes McKenna is underestimating him and is not preparing adequately for their bout. He views McKenna’s sparring with Crawford, a southpaw and counter-puncher, as irrelevant since Laws’ fighting style is completely different.
Laws, who overwhelmed Michael Hennessy Jr. on short notice in his last fight, is confident in his readiness and ability to win. He criticized McKenna for having an easy career so far and warned that their fight will be a different story. Laws believes McKenna’s power is overrated and is determined to expose him.
The fight will be a significant test for both fighters, with Laws eager to prove himself and McKenna aiming to demonstrate his world-level potential.
