Limerick boxer Lee Reeves has been moved to University Hospital Limerick, bringing him closer to his family, who remain by his side.
The 31-year-old was taken from the ring on a stretcher after his fight on 1 August. He had surgery at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin and was placed in an induced coma, then moved to the intensive care unit at the Mater, where a cranioplasty that had been postponed for several weeks was carried out.
He has not regained consciousness. His friend and former coach Jonathan O'Brien has been giving updates on behalf of the family.
More than €120,000 has been raised for Reeves and his family through a GoFundMe appeal. Those close to him have shared one of his own sayings: "Tough times don't last, but tough people do."
