Jamie McDonnell: 'Stick me in boxing ring with anyone'

McDonnell: 'I'll take on anyone'

Jamie McDonnell has declared that he will take on "anyone" after being crowned world champion for the second time.

The Englishman stopped opponent Tabtimdaeng Na Rachawat in round 10 at Wembley Stadium with a solid left hook to secure the vacant WBA bantamweight title.

"I had fantastic support tonight," McDonnell told Sky Sports News following the fight. "It was brilliant. I felt at ease in there. I kept picking at him and poking but give the kid credit, he kept coming.

"I surprised myself at the end but that's my work done early. I could feel the first cut dripping into my eye - I thought it might have caused me a few problems but I just used my legs and got out of danger.

"This title means everything. I'm back on track and I'm sure I can get a unification fight - stick me in the ring with anyone."
