Royal Marine George Crotty remains undefeated on the professional Boxing scene after winning his third-ever professional bout at the spiritual home of British boxing, York Hall. 

Mne Crotty defeated Croatian Andrija Kuzman by a technical knockout (TKO) in the 4x3 Super Featherweight division, marking his first stoppage win since turning professional in 2024. 

Speaking to TalkSPORT after his win, Mne Crotty said that he knew that Kuzman, a former WBO Youth title challenger, would be a tough opponent. 

He said: "We knew that he'd be tough, so we didn't want to load up and look too heavy because he'd be able to cover them all up. 

"I knew that he might struggle with my hand speed and my work rate, so I just went with that."

Speaking on what's next for the Royal Marine, Crotty states that he'd like to "move really fast" to get to title contention.

He added: "I'd like to move really fast, but obviously your management tries slowing you down a little bit.

"But, I'm a bit older, I've got all of the amateur experience, and I'd like to go for the Southern Area [title], but I've got a fight next month [October] and then hopefully the one after that, I'll go for it."

Mne Crotty, who previously boxed for Great Britain as an amateur boxer, is touted as an exciting boxer to look out for in the future.

When asked about how he handles pressure on the professional stage, he said: "Pressure is a privilege, I think. 

"Some people can handle it or some people can't, you know, and I'd like to think that I'll be able to handle it and crack on with it."
