Irish pugilist Lee Reeves remains in a critical but stable state following his knockout loss to Gary Cully in Dublin this past Saturday. The 31-year-old athlete from Limerick had to be carried from the ring on a stretcher after the 10th-round defeat during their bout for the vacant BUI Celtic super-lightweight title at the 3Arena.
A representative for Queensberry Promotions provided an update on Sunday, confirming the fighter’s current condition and noting that further information is expected soon. The team expressed their ongoing support for Reeves and his family during this difficult time. Gary Cully, who won the match, praised his opponent’s performance, acknowledging that Reeves proved he could compete at a high level despite being an underdog.
Promoter Frank Warren also issued a statement via social media, stating that everyone at Queensberry is maintaining contact with the medical team and hoping for a positive recovery. The fight was featured on the undercard of the Pearce O’Leary versus Mark Chamberlain event.
