Irish boxer is said to be �fighting for his life� following weekend bout

An Irish boxer is said to be �fighting for his life� in a Belfast hospital following his bout at Ulster Hall on Saturday night.

Galway native John Cooney lost his Celtic title defence at the weekend with a technical knock-out to Welsh fighter Nathan Howells.

The 28-year-old was taken to hospital as a precaution afterwards but it has since been confirmed that he required surgery to relieve pressure on his brain and he's now in ICU.
