It means the impressive 25-year-old now has 12 wins since turning professional, 11 of which have been knockouts.
“I knew I was the stronger guy and I knew if I caught him with a good shot, he’d go down,” McKenna told Sky Sports afterwards.
“I caught him with a few in the first round and his legs wobbled, and I took advantage of it and went in and finished him.
“Any fight with me, I’m going in there to entertain everyone. I have power in both hands.
“And any welterweight who can stand in front of me, there are not many out there. So I want big fights, I want [Florian] Marku, I want Conor Benn, any of them.
“I know when I go in there and mix it with those guys, very few can take my power, and that was just a wee small percentage of what you see of me, I have plenty more tricks up my sleeve.”
