Curtis Davies Floors Paddy Kenny in First-Round KO at Charity Boxing Event

Ringside medics treated the 47-year-old before he recovered to his feet.

Overview

  • Former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Paddy Kenny was knocked unconscious and given oxygen after being counted out in the opening round against ex-defender Curtis Davies.
  • Davies secured the stoppage with a right hand just under two minutes into the bout, with the referee awarding a knockout as Kenny failed to beat the count.
  • Kenny was assessed in his corner, received oxygen, then stood and embraced Davies, with no further medical updates reported in the coverage.
  • The exhibition card was organised by former Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack to raise money for four charities, with reports citing a £500,000 fundraising target.
  • Davies said his plan was to control the fight with the jab and keep range, adding that the finish came from a decisive right hand he felt warranted an earlier stoppage, while other bouts saw wins for Jody Morris, Leroy Lita, Anthony Gardner and Marvin Elliott.
