“I was just taking my time. I’m the best middleweight. I never said that because I didn’t believe it. But I believe it,” he said afterwards per BBC Sport.
“I’m good, I’m confident. I’m telling you I’m the best. I’ve never been so confident in my life.”
Meanwhile, Sinead Kavanagh overcame fellow Irish fighter Leah McCourt by a unanimous decision — 29-28, 29-28, 30-27.
“The knee went and I couldn’t even stand, so it went to a dog fight,” Kavanagh said afterwards.
“I thought I was finished. I thought I couldn’t go on but I’ve got Irish heart and a fighting heart.”
There was also success on the night for Drogheda fighter Ciaran Clarke.
He overcame Abou Tounkara by stoppage after the Frenchman failed to emerge for the second round.
