McDonnell dipped under a jumping left from his opponent in the tenth before winning an exchange in the middle of the ring, but he was left stumbling following a close-range combat.

However, the Englishman struck a superb left hook after momentarily recovering to send Na Rachawat to the canvas and take the title.

Elsewhere, Anthony Joshua recorded an emphatic win over Matt Legg to make it six victories out of six since turning professional.
