On Saturday’s Bellow-Usyk undercard, 23-year-old British boxer Sam Hyde lost his fight with Richard Riakporhe after suffering an absolutely brutal eye injury in the eighth round.
Hyde’s eye quickly began to swell up into a haematoma after getting caught with a right hand. Despite clearly winning the fight up to that point, Hyde’s corner decided to throw in the towel because of the injury.
