Jimmy Kelly, with a professional boxing career starting in 2012, is a welterweight fighter from England. His current record is 26 wins and 3 losses, with 10 wins coming by way of knockout.
Kelly's career began with a bang, as he scored a second-round TKO over Moss Hamed in his debut fight. He went on to win his next fifteen fights, with six of those wins coming by stoppage.
In December 2015, Kelly received his first opportunity at a world title fight at the young age of 23. He faced off against Liam Smith for the WBO title but was stopped in the seventh round via a TKO. This loss marked the end of Kelly's sixteen-fight winning streak.
Kelly has since faced two more losses in non-title bouts, one being a decision loss and the other a TKO loss via Jamie Munguía in the fifth round in his most recent fight on June 11, 2022.
Kelly's boxing style predominantly revolves around his excellent footwork in the ring, his accurate jabs, and his ability to set up his punches. His unique blend of offensive and defensive skills makes him a tricky opponent in the ring.
Despite his three losses, Kelly has still achieved several notable victories in his boxing career. Among his most outstanding victories include wins over Vaidas Balciauskas, Harry Matthews, Stiliyan Kostov, Isaac Aryee, Nodar Robakidze, Michael Mora, and Deividas Sajauka.
Kelly has yet to win a world title, with no title wins or defenses under his belt in his professional boxing career. However, he remains a well-known and respected welterweight fighter in the boxing community with the potential for more significant victories as he continues his career.
In conclusion, Jimmy Kelly may have faced a few setbacks in his boxing journey, but his talent in the ring is undeniable. With his excellent footwork, accurate jabs, and tricky combination of offense and defense, it's no surprise that he has achieved several notable victories in his professional career. Although he has yet to secure a world title, there is still potential for Kelly to add more significant victories to his already impressive record.
