Michael Conlan said he wanted to fight a "real opponent" after stopping Italy's Nicola Cipoletta in the seventh round in Las Vegas last night.
The Belfast boxer, seeking the ninth straight win of his professional career, dominated throughout against the Italian, eventually ending the contest with a blizzard of punches against the ropes in the seventh.
Six of Conlan's nine professional wins so far have come via knockout.
Afterwards, Conlan admitted his frustration with the defensive nature of his opponent and professed his desire to fight a "real opponent" soon.
"He was just negative," Conlan told ESPN. "Now I want real opponents. I want top 10, top 15 opponents."
Conlan's next fight is scheduled for the 22nd December in Manchester on the Carl Frampton v Josh Warrington card, though his opponent remains as yet unknown.
There are suggestions he could be set for a rematch with Vladimir Nikitin, the Russian boxer who was controversially awarded the decision against him in the quarter-finals of the Rio Olympics.
Nikitin defeated America's Clay Burns earlier on the night in Las Vegas.
