Epitomising an ‘Anyone, Anytime, any place’ mentality, the fighting pride of North Kilkenny said “there’s nothing on an opponent yet, as I said I’m signed with ProBox and if you’ve seen their cards, there is no easy fights” before stating “I’m sure whoever I have next will be in to win, but I’ll do what I do best”

Reflecting on his previous win against an opponent who, albeit was technically levels below McCarthy, the former St Michael’s Athy man stated “it was great to get the 6 rounds in, that guy had 21 pro fights, these so called journeymen in the US don’t come to collect a paycheck, they come to cause an upset” following with “I knew what I was up against, and knew not to take anyone lightly.”
