Hospitalised boxer won’t give up on dream
Lightweight contender Kieran Farrell is stated his intention
to come back stronger after being stretchered from the ring on Friday night
following his decision defeat to new English champion Anthony Crolla.
The 22 year-old, who suffered his first loss at the Bowlers Arena in Manchester, has been kept in hospital for a second night for observation, but is in no
doubt about continuing his promising boxing career in the future.
“I’d like to thank Dave Coldwell and all his team for
putting on a top show,” said Farrell.
“Well done to Anthony Crolla and all the best to him in the
future. As a boxing fan, it’s a privilege to be involved in a ‘Fight of the
Year’ candidate.
“Obviously I am devastated with the result. I hope everyone
enjoyed themselves and seen what ‘Vicious’ Kieran Farrell is about.
“I am sat in Hope Hospital planning the next mission. I have
got a world title to go and win. Viva La Vicious!”
Farrell’s record now stands at 14-1 following the defeat,
although the Heywood fighter may be forced to take some time out of boxing to
recover from the energy-sapping contest before contemplating his next bout.
