McDonnell's first title came in his next fight, meeting former victim Bloy on 23 February 2007 and scoring a third-round stoppage to lift the English bantamweight title. The newly crowned English champion now had a record of 8–0–1 and had never fought outside of Doncaster professionally.[2]
Title challenges vs. Edwards and Haskins
McDonnell's first fight outside his home town saw him travel to the York Hall in London to defeat Nikita Lukin on 21 September 2007 in an eight-round fight. His next fight was to be for the British super-flyweight title at the Robin Park Centre in Wigan on 8 December 2007. The fight with Chris Edwards would be the first time the British super-flyweight had been contested making this the inaugural contest for the belt. The experienced Edwards eventually won the title via split decision after twelve hotly contested rounds handing a first defeat for the Doncaster man.[3]
On 28 March 2008 McDonnell suffered his second defeat in a row having travelled to Barnsley to meet Lee Haskins. The fight with Haskins resulted in another close loss over eight rounds with Haskins himself coming off a British title loss to Ian Napa in the bantamweight division. The fight in Barnsley doubled as an eliminator for the winner to challenge for the super-flyweight title which Haskins would go on to win.[4]
British bantamweight champion
Following two straight defeats to British level fighters, McDonnell regrouped by returning to m and beating journeyman Anthony Hanna via fifth-round stoppage. Two fights on the island of
European bantamweight champion
McDonnell's victory over Napa allowed him to step straight into a challenge for the
WBA bantamweight champion
On 31 May 2014 McDonnell fought Tamadang Da Rachawat for the
His first title defense was on 22 November 2014 at the
His next title defense was also his US debut, against Japanese boxer Tomoki Kameda, in which McDonnell was considered the underdog despite holding the title. Things were going Kameda's way in the early rounds, and he even managed to drop McDonnell in the third round. In the fifth round, things would start going McDonnell's way. All three judges thought McDonnell's performance in the latter part of the fight was enough, with all three scoring the fight 114–113 in favor of the Brit.[11]
In the rematch, Kameda again started off strong, being the more active fighter during the first two rounds. McDonnell would then take control of most of the remainder of the fight, boxing intelligently and managing to drop Kameda in the closing round. This time, the Brit was the clear winner, winning the fight 117–110, 116–111 and 115–112 on the scorecards.[12]
McDonnell next faced Fernando Vargas, as a late replacement for Juan Alberto Rosas. McDonnell used his high work rate and jab to establish control during the fight, dropping Vargas in the ninth round before the referee waved the fight off.[13]
On 12 November 2016 McDonnell faced the WBA's #2 ranked bantamweight, Liborio Solis. It would prove to be a very tough fight for McDonnell, who got the win on the scorecards, despite many at ringside, along with the Sky Sports pundits, having Solis winning the fight.[14]
On 1 February 2017 the WBA officially ordered a rematch between the two.[15]
The rematch ended in a third-round no-contest after McDonnell suffered a cut below his left eye following an accidental clash of heads.[16]
On 25 May 2018 McDonnell faced Naoya Inoue at the Ota City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan. Inoue was simply too good for the visiting fighter, managing to drop him twice in the first two minutes of the fight, forcing the referee to wave it off.[17]
Shortly after his loss, McDonnell announced that he will be moving up in weight.[18]
On 11 May 2021, McDonnell announced his retirement from boxing via post on his Instagram account.[19]
