Queensberry promoter Frank Warren has said that Irish boxer Michael Reeves is “making progress” after being hospitalised following his fight in Dublin on Saturday night.
The 31-year-old’s condition was described as “critical but stable” after he was admitted for treatment following his defeat to Gary Cully.
Reeves was fighting for the vacant BUI Celtic super-lightweight title but was knocked out in the 10th round at the 3Arena.
The Limerick southpaw was stretchered out of the ring after the fight.
An update provided by Warren on Thursday struck a positive note.
“My team have been in touch with Lee Reeves’ team and he is making progress. That is what we’re hearing and thank the Lord for that,” Warren said.
“With Lee and it’s all about time. Time hopefully can be a healer.”
Warren added that his hope was that Reeves would be able to “get back to his family as soon as possible”.
