George Crotty remains undefeated in professional career with win at O2 Arena

Royal Marine George Crotty remains undefeated in his professional boxing career after beating UK-based Iranian boxer Bahadur Karami at the O2 Arena.

Mne Crotty beat Karami by points decision after four rounds in the light-heavyweight division, marking his fourth straight win in his professional career.

The bout took place as a preliminary fight at the O2 Arena in the lead-up to the monumental clash between Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley in the World Heavyweight Championship.

Reacting to his win in a post on Instagram, Mne Crotty said: "It's been a good month, with two fights in four weeks and two good wins, ready to step up the rounds and opposition now and look for titles in the next couple of fights.

"Really appreciate everyone who bought tickets and made the effort to support at the O2.

"Thanks to Queensberry Promotion and Simon Legg for giving me the opportunity to be on such a good event. "Lastly, a big thanks to the Royal Marines – Royal Navy for making this all possible."

A former Team GB boxer, Mne Crotty has previously expressed his goal to win the Southern Area title in the near future.

He turned professional in 2024 after he missed out on making the Team GB squad for the 2024 Olympics.
