Irish boxer Lee Reeves was hospitalised after his defeat via knockout in Dublin on Saturday, Queensberry promoter Frank Warren has said.<\/p>\n

Reeves was stopped in the 10th round of his super-lightweight bout against compatriot Gary Cully at the 3Arena in the Irish capital, and footage uploaded on YouTube<\/a> by Queensberry \u2014 which ran the event \u2014 showed the 31-year-old receiving swift attention from multiple people in the ring, which went on for several minutes.<\/p>\n

Warren said in a post on social media platform X on Sunday: \u201cAll our thoughts and prayers are with Lee Reeves and his family at this time as he remains in hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at Queensberry is thinking of him and we\u2019re in constant contact with his team regarding his condition as we hope for positive news.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bout was on the undercard for Pierce O\u2019Leary vs. Mark Chamberlain, and saw Cully, 30, win the BUI Celtic super-lightweight title.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy prayers and thoughts are with Lee Reeves, hopefully he\u2019s okay,\u201d said Cully after the bout.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe came in there as a big underdog after fighting relatively at a lower level up until now, but he really showed that he can operate at a higher level. Huge credit to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The defeat was Reeves\u2019 first since 2020, according to Tapology<\/a>, with a professional record of (16-2-0).<\/p>\n
