McKinney was born in Hernando, Mississippi, a small town in DeSoto county, in the northwest corner of the state. Both the town and the county were named after Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto, who is credited with being the first European to cross the Mississippi River.McKinney had a tremendous amateur background, including a gold medal in the bantamweight division at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. In a 1992 fight in Italy, McKinney won the IBF super bantamweight title by knocking out Welcome Ncita, a tough South African nicknamed "The Hawk." The 11th round KO was necessary, as McKinney trailed on the cards, 96-95, 96-94, and 97-94, when he landed a crushing right hand to put Ncita to sleep. It was the winner of the 1992 RING Magazine Knockout of the Year award. McKinney made five title defenses, including a rematch majority decision win over Ncita in April 1994, before he was victim of the RING Magazine Upset of the Year award for 1994, losing in August to another South African, lightly regarded challenger Vuyani Bungu, who would in fact never lose the title, holding it through a February 1999 defense against Victor Llerena, before vacating to move up and challenge Prince Naseem Hamed in 2000, having made 13 successful title defenses, one a rematch win in 1997 over McKinney.
