McCloskey Retains Title

Paul McCloskey succesfully retained his European Light-Welterweight title against Giuseppe Lauri in Belfast.

The 30-year-old stopped Lauri in the 11th and improves to 21-0 (11ko).

McCloskey has every reason to be disappointed with his overall performance but landed an impressive knockout punch to secure victory.
