Padraig McCrory hailed an Irish invasion after dismantling home favourite Leon Bunn in Frankfurt to become new IBO world light-heavyweight champion.
The Belfast fighter had Bunn down twice in the opening three rounds as he dominated his German opponent in the early stages.
The finish would arrive midway through the sixth, a short right hook flooring Bunn for a third time in the fight, and referee Jorge Milke decided he had seen enough and waved the contest off.
