Magee now will hope that his victory will earn him another shot at one of the major world super-middleweight belts.
The Belfastman lost out in an IBF title challenge to Lucian Bute last March. Andre Ward is currently rated as the WBA's super champion as he also holds the WBC belt with Karoly Balzsay the champion and Magee the interim title holder.
Magee's victory improves his record to 36 wins in 41 fights.
