Light-middleweight Lee Cutler said it felt “surreal” to come away with a victory on Saturday night when he beat rival Stephen McKenna and handed him the first loss of his professional career. <\/b><\/p>\n
‘Chaos Cutler’ knocked McKenna down twice en route to a majority-decision victory in a thrilling fight at the Exhibition Centre in Liverpool. <\/p>\n
“There’s still so much more to come from me and the team know that.” Cutler told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“This was a fight that I had to get through to progress my career. I would have been off the big shows if I lost, so there was a lot of pressure.<\/p>\n
“It was so surreal to have the whole team here. I felt it was a bit too easy in there at times, which is why I switched off and got hit with some silly shots. <\/p>\n
“I’m over the moon though and I hope I’ve done everyone proud.”<\/p>\n
Cutler previously won the English light-middleweight title in December of 2023 and Saturday’s showdown with McKenna was a real boxing treat.<\/p>\n
The two went for it from the first bell and each of the 10 rounds was filled with action as big shots landed on both competitors. <\/p>\n
Victory ensured that he claimed McKenna’s WBC International title as well as bragging rights after a fiery build-up between the two. <\/p>\n
Cutler is part of Shane McGuigan’s gym in London under coach Josh Pritchard, who was incredibly animated in the corner on Saturday night, willing his man on to victory. <\/p>\n
Also part of his gym set up are former and current world champions, including Chris Billam-Smith, Caroline Dubois and Ellie Scotney.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
