Sean O'Malley has not won by knockout since 2023, when he stopped Aljamain Sterling to claim the bantamweight title. O'Malley acknowledges that only a highlight-reel finish against his upcoming Canadian opponent will firmly put him back in the title picture, stating plainly that he needs to knock him out.
