Boxing: Kildare man Gary Cully on the way to World title bout
Sensational win for Naas star in 35 seconds on Katie Taylor undercard
Naas man, Gary Cully, made it 15 wins out of 15 when defeating Franch lightweight Jaouad Belmehdi (24) on the undercard of the Katie Taylor fight at Wembley Arena in London on Saturday night.
And what a win.
Some 35 seconds into the opening round, Cully caught his opponent putting him on the floor and out of the contest as the referee called a halt as the French man was clearly unable to continue.
For Garry Cully, who is part of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom stable since earlier in the year, this will certainly enhance his growing reputation. The 6'3" lightweight had previously said it was an honour to be part of the Katie Taylor fight night in Wembley and Eddie Hearn was certainly impressied with his latest boxer suggesting in the immediate aftermath that Cully could fight for a world title on the undercard of Katie Taylor's Croke Park homecoming if it goes ahead next year.
What a prospect that is to look forward to!
