Opinions were divided online after the verdict, but Davies was in no doubt he earned the bragging rights and was left surprised by the scorecards.
He told Sky Sports afterwards: “I don’t think it was that close. I felt I won the fight quite comfortably.
“I could have taken it up another two or three notches.
“When the one judge had it a draw, I was thinking, ‘Hell no, that was a wide fight.’ He probably won two rounds of that fight.
“I know when I’m in top shape, there is no one in the world that can match me.
“I’m coming for everyone now, I’m coming.”
Davies, 28, will now receive a major fight deal, having become the first to win MTK’s Golden Contract.
McKenna, 30, revealed damage to his eye after the loss, just the second of his career.
He said: “Wasn’t my night, I thought it was. Thought I was in control of the fight, boxing to instructions.
“Is what it is, I’m not going to cry about it.
“But I tell you what is depressing, getting beat, when you thought you won, then after the bar’s not even open for a f***ing pint and sitting in your hotel room absolutely solo.”
