Irish boxer Gary Cully shows off gruesome hand injury following eighth pro win

Irish boxer Gary Cully added another victory to his unbeaten pro start last night, but had to celebrate in the hospital after picking up a gruesome injury.

Brayan Mairena pushed all the way to the end but conceded to Cully on points to bring the Irishman to 8-0 in his professional career.

And after the bout was over, the Naas southpaw was brought to hospital and treated for a brutal gash on his left hand.

In a post following the fight, Cully posted a photo of the injury, saying: "A&E wasn’t where I was planning on celebrating last night.

"Suffered this gash at some stage during my fight, I’m stitched up now and on the mend.

"I will be back and the ring and collecting belts very very soon, but for now I think I need a couple weeks rest."
