Southpaw McCullagh was 2-0 before tonight.
The 25-year-old scored a second round stoppage of Hungarian Bence Sipos at York Hall in November after defeating Tamas Laska, another Hungarian, on his professional debut last July.

A powerful body shot was followed by a right uppercut to the Latvian’s head and Zacests was deemed unable to continue by the referee.
