Limerick boxer Lee Reeves who fights in Madison Square Garden, New York, on St Patrick's Night
LIMERICK boxer Lee Reeves continues his professional career at famed Madison Square Garden, New York on St Patrick's Night.
Twenty four year old Reeves will take on American Edward Torres in a four-round welterweight contest, which is part of the undercard of Michael Conlan’s big 10 round Featherweight clash against Ruben Garcia Hernandez.
The Limerick southpaw has been preparing for his third professional fight at a training camp in Los Angeles.
Reeves, who made his professional boxing debut on November 7 in Canada, had a successful first foray into the squared circle. The former Corpus Christi welterweight defeated Mexican Benito Aburto with a TKO in the third round.

A former national underage champions, Reeves had a familiar face in his corner with Declan Fitzgerald.
