Irish pugilist Lee Reeves required emergency hospital treatment after being defeated by Gary Cully in a lightweight match in Dublin this past Saturday. The 31-year-old fighter hit the canvas twice during the tenth round of the bout, which served as part of the undercard for the Pierce O’Leary and Mark Chamberlain event at the 3Arena.
Reeves failed to recover after the second knockdown, necessitating his removal from the ring on a stretcher for transport to a medical facility. Frank Warren, the promoter for Queensberry, shared a statement confirming that the organization is monitoring the situation and standing by the athlete and his family.
Gary Cully extended his well-wishes to his opponent, acknowledging Reeves’ impressive showing despite entering the match as an underdog. Cully expressed admiration for his rival’s ability to compete at a higher standard. As of the immediate aftermath of the match, no additional details regarding the medical status of Reeves have been released.
