From Pitch to Ring: Ross McCormack KO’d in First Round of Charity Boxing Debut

From Pitch to Ring: Ross McCormack KO’d in First Round of Charity Boxing Debut

Former Premier League striker Ross McCormack suffered a first-round knockout in his boxing debut, according to talkSPORT. The 39-year-old Scot laced up his gloves in a charity match in Liverpool, promoted by Pro Project Promotions under ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Graham Stack. Facing former Leeds teammate Matt Kilgallon, both fighters traded wild swings until Kilgallon landed a left hook that put McCormack on the canvas. The referee’s count ended the bout in Kilgallon’s favour. The event also featured ex-professionals like Chris Iwelumo vs Lee Trundle as part of a card aimed at raising funds for charity.

I was genuinely surprised to see him go down so fast, given his usual athleticism.

It seems odd that a 39-year-old footballer would step into a boxing ring without extensive training.

A better approach might have been a training camp or exhibition spar rather than a full contact bout for charity.
