Jack Rafferty Shares The Moment He Told His Dad "We've Done It" After The Rafferty-Martirosyan Fight On The Buatsi-Hutchinson 2 Card

RAFFERTY-MARTIROSYAN. "We've done it, dad!" Those were the words Jack Rafferty found in the ring on the Buatsi-Hutchinson 2 card, and DAZN Boxing called it a beautiful moment.

The ring boards read Rafferty-Martirosyan, and the cameras stayed on Rafferty as he stood in the ring, sweat running down his face, with the arena behind him. The moment was not about the fight itself. It was about who he said it to.

Big nights in boxing are usually measured in scorecards and finishes. The ones fans remember tend to be the ones where a fighter stops being a fighter for a few seconds and speaks to the person who got them there. Rafferty did that here, and the line itself carries the weight: "we've done it" puts his father in the achievement alongside him.

For fighters coming up through gyms and club shows, it is a reminder of what the work is for. The early mornings, the corner and the people who believed first all sit behind a moment like this.

Watch for what comes next in Rafferty's career. A night that ends with words like these tends to set the tone for the next camp.
