According to reports published by the specialized portal BoxingScene, the athlete from Limerick lost consciousness on stage and had to be removed on a stretcher for direct transfer to the nearest hospital.

Official statement from the promoter and health status

In the official statement released by the company organizing the show, the athlete's current condition was specified by stating: "Lee Reeves remains hospitalized, in critical but stable condition. In the coming days we will know more, and our thoughts and prayers remain with Lee and his family."

The head of the promotion firm, Frank Warren, also offered impressions on the complexity of the incident during interviews given after the event in Dublin. The manager emphasized the risks inherent in professional sports when evaluating the effort made by the fighter in the ring: "We are thinking about him and his family. That is the danger of boxing... Boxing is a unique sport, there is nothing like it, they give everything," Warren declared to the media present.

Reactions in the boxing environment after the fight

The confrontation between Cully and Lee Reeves was part of the undercard in the Irish capital where Mark Chamberlain obtained a quick victory against Pierce O'Leary. At the conclusion of the protocol in the ring, the winner of the evening expressed his solidarity with the state of health of his opponent and recognized the physical demand posed by Lee Reeves throughout the ten episodes played, marking the first time in which the Limerick fighter surpassed the barrier of eight rounds on the rented plane.

“I hope he's okay,” Gary Cully declared to the official broadcast cameras after learning of his rival's hospital transfer. "He came in as the clear underdog after having competed at a relatively lower level until now, but he showed that he can perform at a higher level. He deserves great recognition," added the boxer when evaluating the performance of Lee Reeves, who entered the match with a professional record of 16 wins, two losses and 11 fast-track finishes.
