A year later he took welterweight gold at the European Games in Minsk, Belarus, winning in the final against Russia’s Khariton Agrba by unanimous decision.[6][7][8] At that year's World Championships in Yekaterinburg, Russia, he won the silver medal after losing 4:0 to Russian boxer Andrey Zamkovoy in the welterweight final which was stopped in the second round due to a cut suffered by McCormack following an accidental clash of heads.[9][10][11]
