Michael Conlan made it two wins out of two, and now the Irish Olympic star is on his way to Australia for his next fight.
Conlan knocked out Mexico's Alfredo Chanez in the third round of the main event at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago on Friday night.
He will now head out to Brisbane to fight on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao's title defence against Jeff Horn.
Conlan had an easy time of it as he inflicted a third successive defeat on Chanez, who was knocked out for the first time in his career.
Conlan (2-0, 2 KOs) who won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics and was also a 2016 Olympian, dropped Chanez to his backside with a right uppercut in the first round.
In the third round, the 25-year-old landed a powerful right hand to the ribs and Chanez went down again. Although he beat the count, the referee ended the fight after 2 minutes, 59 seconds.
"I'm not very happy with my performance tonight, but it is what it is, and we got the victory," Conlan said. "This is all part of the process. Next up is Brisbane, Australia. I hope they're ready for the 'Conlan Revolution.'
"For my next fight, I want a better opponent, one that is going to challenge me and that is a real threat. I think with a better opponent I'm going to show what I'm made of and what I can do."
