Frank Warren said his thoughts and prayers were with Lee Reeves after the Irish boxer was stretchered from the ring at the 3Arena on Saturday. Reeves was knocked out in the 10th round by Gary Cully and taken to hospital, where he remained in a critical but stable condition on Sunday.
3Arena after the 10th round
Reeves, 31, was fighting for the vacant BUI Celtic super-lightweight title when the bout ended inside the distance. The stretcher exit was the detail that changed the story from a result line to a medical one: the fight was over, but the immediate concern became his condition rather than the scorecards.
Queensberry Promotions said Reeves was still in hospital on Sunday and would know more in the coming days. That leaves the practical picture straightforward for anyone following the result: Reeves is not yet back in circulation, and the only update on his status is the one already shared through Queensberry.
Queensberry and Gary Cully
Warren said everyone at Queensberry was thinking of Reeves and was in constant contact with his team regarding his condition. Gary Cully added his own prayers and thoughts, then pointed to the level Reeves brought into the ring, saying he came in as a big underdog after fighting relatively at a lower level up until now and that he showed he can operate at a higher level.
The bout sat on the undercard of Pierce O'Leary against Mark Chamberlain, which also ended with a 10th-round knockout. Two fights on the same bill finishing that way makes Reeves's hospitalisation the story that matters most now, because the result has already been recorded but the medical picture is still active.
Reeves and hospital care
For readers tracking the aftermath, the next meaningful development is not another ring result but the update on Reeves's condition. Until that arrives, the important facts are fixed: he was knocked out in the 10th round, carried out on a stretcher, and remained in a critical but stable condition in hospital.
