Lurgan native and boxer Lee Gormley wins second fight since turning professional at Bolton, England

Lee won by decision after four rounds against Carlisle man Jake Osgood.

He said: “I'm buzzing to have gone 2-0 as a professional on what was a great show from VIP Boxing in Bolton. It was the same venue where I won my pro debut too, so it's becoming a great place to perform at.

"There were some difficulties during fight week, with my initial opponent pulling out at the last minute. So, I ended up fighting someone a lot bigger in weight. But it's just something that happens at this level and you just have to get on with it. I'm just grateful I was still able to fight and show what I can do in front of friends and family again.

"I'd been preparing for this opportunity since straight after my debut and I trained all summer as normal, even when I was on holiday abroad! But it's all worth it in the end when you have your hand raised for the win.

"I just want to say a big thank you to all my sponsors back home in Lurgan, including Anthony Hendron from Hendron School of Motoring, who's been a big help. As well as G&G Trailer Freight Ltd. And also to everyone who helped with sponsoring tickets or who tuned into the live stream to support me from home. It means a lot.

"I'm straight back in the gym this week and pushing on towards the next fight, with a big end to the year coming up.”
