Steven Cairns, a rising Irish boxing star, achieved a perfect 10-0 professional record with a knockout victory in Liverpool. Cairns, who is being mentored by legendary promoter Frank Warren, is aiming to secure his first professional title in 2025.
As Paul Heaton performed next door, an Irish prospect who is being backed to go all the way to the top took his professional record to a Perfect 10 in Liverpool last month. The Housemartins and Beautiful South frontman was singing live at the city's M&S Bank Arena as Steven Cairns scored the sixth knockout of his career to move to 10-0 as a pro at the nearby Exhibition Centre in what was his third bout on Merseyside.
The Cork native has had quite the start to the pro ranks, fighting in the likes of Spain, Germany and Denmark, as well as Uzbekistan, brilliantly delivering sickening body shots everywhere he goes. Last year saw the 22-year-old sign a promotional deal with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions and make his Irish debut, landing a savage first round knockout in under a minute at Belfast's SSE Arena back in June. He then went six rounds with Argentinian Ezequiel Gregores at York Hall in September before recording another impressive KO in the third round over Jamie Stewart on December 6. The Stoke fighter hadn't been stopped in 15 previous bouts, including against Florian Marku. And the youngster, who is being backed to become one of Ireland's biggest boxing stars, is ready to push on to bigger and better things in 2025 as he aims to win his first belt as a pro. '2025 is going to be massive,' said Cairns. 'I wanted to step up to eight rounds in 2024 but through no fault of my own it couldn't happen but this year we'll be stepping up and I want to fight for a belt. 'I think I'm ready now. I'm maturing every time I go into the ring, I feel more comfortable in the ring and I believe I'm one of the best 135 pound prospect
