After this Saturday's shocking win, Craig Cunningham is planning to drop down to the junior middleweight division.

Cunningham moved up in weight to face Olympic bronze medal winner and rising middleweight prospect Anthony Ogogo in Birmingham, as the co-feature to Frankie Gavin vs. Sam Eggington.

Cunningham (17-1, 4KOs) was a big underdog heading in. Instead he took the fight to Ogogo, hurt him and even dropped him. Ogogo was unable to continue at the midway point of the eight round, giving Cunningham the TKO win. It was later learned that Ogogo suffered a fractured eye socket during the fight.

Cunningham, a full-time mechanic, picked up the vacant WBC International belt with his win. His team has already tried to get a fight with Brian Rose at 154 and they were rejected flat. Rose picked up a win on the undercard of the same event.

"Super-welterweight was the plan from day one," Cunningham told Sky Sports. "I make middleweight too easily so super-welter is where I'm going. I just couldn't pass the opportunity to have a fight like that in Birmingham.

"I just went up to middleweight and obviously got the win. We've already put it to Brian Rose's team - and they turned it down."

Once Ogogo recovers from his injury, 28-year-old Cunningham is open to the idea of a rematch with the Olympian.

"It's the boxing game and I will never say never, but I want big titles and have to look at the money situation, but if there is another big prize, I never say never. I've been speaking to [trainer] Jon Pegg and I need to get a promoter so I want to stay on these big shows. I need to talk to him see what the next step is," Cunningham said.
