Irish Boxer Lee Reeves Remains Critical but Stable

The Daily Mail described the contest as an enthralling all-Republic of Ireland affair. Cully took the title with the victory. Afterwards he said that Reeves had come in as a big underdog, because he had been competing at a lower level until now, but that he had shown he could operate higher up. The fight was on the undercard of Pierce O'Leary against Mark Chamberlain, and O'Leary, the home fighter, also lost by knockout in the tenth round.

On Sunday evening a spokesperson for Queensberry Promotions, which staged the event, said that Reeves was still in hospital in a critical but stable condition, and that more would be known in the coming days. Earlier, the Queensberry promoter Frank Warren had written on social media that his thoughts and prayers were with Reeves and his family. He added that everyone at the promotion was in constant contact with the boxer's team about his condition, while hoping for positive news. Cully said something similar, and no prognosis has been given.
