Callum Simpson credits late sister for inspiring comeback Ivan Zucco KO after being dropped EIGHT SECONDS into fight
CALLUM SIMPSON called on inspiration from his late sister Lily Rae to come from behind and stop Ivan Zucco to win the European title.
Simpson suffered the devastating news that his 19-year-old sister had tragically died last year in a quad bike accident on holiday in Greece.
But the Barnsley boxing hero – who headlined at the Oakwell Football Ground – continues to fight in Lily Rae’s honour.
And she would have watched on with pride as her big brother came back to stop Zucco in round ten after three knockdowns.
Simpson, crowned the European super-middleweight champion, said: “Not once did I give up, those last few rounds I’ll be honest I started thinking about my little sister Lily.
“I’ll be honest, I just thought I had to push for her and for everybody.
“This time last year, Lily was sat up here cheering me on and she was there with me tonight when it got tough, when it got hard.
“From round eight, I thought, ‘I’ve got to dig deep, I’ve got to keep pushing, I’ve gotta do it for her. She was with me tonight.”
Simpson filled Barnsley’s 23,000-seater – but he got off to a horror start after being floored by only the second punch Zucco threw.
Simpson made it to his feet with little trouble but opted to try and make Zucco pay – and buzzed the travelling Italian himself before the bell sounded.
The opener was a frenzy of wild shots with both men hurt and the following two rounds was much of the same.
And again Simpson was down in round three after a huge left hand as the chaos continued.
The former British and Commonwealth super-middleweight had to pick himself up and dust himself off to turn the fight around.
And that is exactly what he did with constant pressure in the second half of the fight turning the tide.
By round ten, Simpson was on the front foot and trapped Zucco in the corner – letting off a devastating triple uppercut.
It dropped Zucco – who got to his feet – but again he was pinned in the corner and floored with two of the same shots.
The underdog European once again made it to his feet but Simpson, smelling blood, jumped on Zucco and forced him to the floor with a barrage of shots.
This time there was no coming back for Zucco – as Simpson turned the fight on its head with a comeback victory for the ages.

Daisy May Cooper surprises fans as BBC comedy star reveals her ‘real name’ in throwback snap
THIS Country actress Daisy May Cooper has surprised fans after revealing her “real name” in a throwback snap.
The comedy star has always been known by the surname Cooper since her rise to stardom but in a throwback Instagram post, she has revealed that she isn’t actually legally Cooper.
Instead, Daisy May’s surname is Weston.
This is the surname of her ex-husband, Will Weston, whom she wed in 2019.
Despite the pair splitting in 2021, she appears to have legally retained his last name.
The throwback snap in question was about the day that Daisy gave birth to her third child last year with new partner, Anthony Huggins.
The snap was of Daisy’s hospital visit to give birth to her son Benji in which her full name – Daisy May Weston – could be seen written on the board behind her.
The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this year that Daisy and Anthony were secretly engaged.
Despite retaining her ex-hubby’s last name, it seems that Daisy is ready to move on and acquire a new one.
The couple first met on dating app Hinge.
A source said in February of this year: “Daisy and Anthony are madly in love with each other and are a success story for dating apps.
“Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together.
“It felt the natural step for them both, and their friends and family are made up for them.”
Best BBC comedies
We look back at some of the best to ever grace the screen.
Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) – Only two series were made of the beloved institution. However, the cultural impact of the series starring John Cleese and Connie Booth spans decades. It follows rude and intolerant Basil Fawlty (Cleese) as he attempts to improve the reputation of his hotel.
Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) – The show was crowned by some as the best British sitcom of all time by a TV poll in 2004. Seven series were broadcast on BBC until 1991 with additional sporadic Christmas specials airing until 2003. Sir David Jason starred as ambitious market trader Derek “Del Boy” Trotter whilst Nicholas Lyndhurst played his younger half-brother Rodney. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it follows the highs and lows of the lives of the Trotters’, in particular their brazen attempts to get rich.
Blackadder (1983 – 1989) – Four series were made of the iconic show, created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Each series spans a different historical period as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder (Atkinson) tries to better himself in each society. Accompanied by his dogsbody Baldrick (Tony Robinson), trouble always ensues. A TV poll in 2004 found that Blackadder was voted the second-best British sitcom of all time
Absolutely Fabulous (1992 – 2012) – Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley star as failing PR guru Edina ‘Eddie’ Monsoon and alcoholic fashionista Patsy Stone. The pair embark on heavy-drinking sessions and abuse drugs in a desperate attempt to stay ‘hip’. Eddie constantly chases bizarre fads and fails to lose weight whilst her disappointed and neglected daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) looks on.
Little Britain (2003 – 2006) – The premise is simple. A sketch show which features different British people from all walks of life that are engaged in all sorts of comical scenarios. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the pair created iconic pop culture characters. Viewers loved obnoxious council estate teenager Vicky Pollard, morbidly obese scrounger Bubbles Devere, slimming coach Marjorie Dawes, despondent office worker Carol Beer, disgraced politician Sir Norman Fry, of course the iconic Lou and Andy!
The Catherine Tate Show (2004-2015) – A sketch show starring the likes of Catherine Tate. She made iconic characters such as rowdy schoolgirl Lauren Cooper with her line ‘Am I bovvered?’. Other characters featured Bernie the nurse, the aga saga woman, complaining couple Janice and Ray, and of course her infamous ‘Nan’, Joannie Taylor. The last character herself spawned multiple specials and even a movie.
Gavin and Stacey (2007 – Present) The series tells the story of Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page). The pair embarked on an online and telephone romance for six months. But when they finally decide to be together properly, their friends and family get in the way. Ruth Jones and James Corden created the beloved show, which has been going for over a decade. The 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy in 17 years and the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade.
