Zuffa and Sky Boxing Dublin

A packed 3Arena in Dublin provided an electric backdrop for Zuffa and Sky Boxing’s Fight Night, headlined by the highly anticipated clash between McKenna and Oliha. Lighting designers Max Conwell of Naked Eye Lighting and Michael Nevitt of Crossfade Design created a bold visual identity for the event, using a wall and arch of Chauvet Professional Nexus panels to frame the start of the fighters’ ringwalk, with additional Nexus fixtures positioned around the ring truss to form eye-catching illuminated Z logos. Chauvet Professional Maverick 4 Spot fixtures were used to key the ring, delivering a clean, even wash optimised for broadcast while carefully eliminating unwanted rope shadows across the fighters. The fixtures’ precise framing capabilities also played a key creative role in the main-event entrance, transforming the arena with an Irish tricolour lighting treatment for McKenna’s ringwalk and adding a memorable sense of occasion to an already charged Dublin crowd.
