"Shout out to Aida Camp in West Bank, proud to represent yous on my shorts every fight," McKenna wrote. "And @lajeeceltic @lajeecenter for showing my fight to the camp legends, hopefully see yous all soon."
The Aida Refugee Camp, located near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, is home to the Lajee Center—a grassroots cultural and sports organization that operates community programs, including the local football initiative Lajee Celtic.
The center hosted a screening of McKenna’s bout against Donovan for local residents and youth athletes within the camp.
McKenna’s post-fight message underscores his ongoing connection with the Lajee Center, where he has routinely dedicated his ring appearances to raising awareness for the camp's youth and sporting programs.
