Irish boxer Michael Reeves is showing improvement after being hospitalized following his bout in Dublin on Saturday night.

Queensberry promoter Frank Warren told BBC Sport that Reeves is "making progress" after the fight, which took place at the weekend. The nature of Reeves' medical issue has not been disclosed, but Warren's update suggests the fighter's condition is stabilizing.

Reeves' Hospital Update After Dublin Fight

The hospitalization comes during a difficult stretch for boxing safety. British fighter James Chapman suffered a brain bleed after a sparring session earlier this week, per BBC Sport, and the sport continues to grapple with the risks fighters face both in competition and training.

Reeves competed on a Dublin card that also featured other Irish fighters. No details on his opponent or the circumstances surrounding the hospitalization have been released by Queensberry Promotions.

Warren has not announced a timeline for Reeves' discharge or return to training.
