In 2018 the documentary 'Jack McGann: From Cage to Ring' was released. It was presented by actor Stephen Graham, who at the end of the show predicted that former mixed martial artist McGann would become a boxing champion. In the closing segment he says: “So the big question is, can an MMA fighter become a world championship boxer? Why not. Can Jack McGann become world champion? Yeah, he can”.
Five years down the line, Graham’s claim is fast becoming reality.
McGann defeated Laszlo Toth earlier this month via KO/TKO at the end of round five to become the new IBO European Champion. Toth came into the fight with lots of experience under his belt. Holding a record of 31 wins, seven losses and two draws (31-7-2) with 19 of those wins coming by way of knockout.
