Hundreds of people gathered in Limerick on Friday to show support for injured boxer Lee Reeves, who has “helped save lives” and “made a difference” in the community.

Lee Reeves, aged 31, from Roxboro, was stretchered from the ring after a heavy knockout defeat at Dublin’s 3Arena last Saturday night and rushed to hospital, where he underwent surgery, before being placed into an induced coma.
