No Argy Bargy for Lee

Finally, light heavyweight Alo Kelly has had to retire from professional boxing due to a detached retina in his right eye. He had an operation a few weeks ago, and while he should never box again, the good news is that some sight has returned to the eye.

The injury was discovered while Kelly was training in Belfast in January. “It‘s very sad. Alo was our first-born, so to speak, and Irish Ropes was built around him,” said McLoughlin. Kelly, went 5-0-1 as a pro.
