The Andy Lee KO of the Year – The Smackwear Irish-Boxing.com Awards 2018
As we move into the final day of nominations it’s time for the big finishes.
The reason many watch boxing, there have been plenty of vicious KOs this year by Irish fighters in both the amateurs and the pros.
Below we pick out five one-punch spectaculars.
This award has been named in honour of Andy Lee. The former WBO middleweight champ retired this year and was fond of a highlight-reel knockout himself.
