British boxer, Anthony Joshua has been rushed to hospital for urgent treatment of an eye injury suffered in his title defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, confirmed that his client will be undergoing eye treatment due to the injury he sustained on Saturday night, September 25 in London.
Usyk, a southpaw fighter, hit Josuha so hard throughout the contest which caused Joshua’s right eye to sustain an injury after the 10th round.
As the 12th round was coming to an end, Joshua was finding it difficult to stand and looking at his condition, he was saved by the time bell.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn disclosed his fighter may have suffered a broken eye socket.
‘When he lost in New York everyone started analysing the dressing room, the ring walk,’ Hearn said.
‘He was fine, he was maybe a little too relaxed on the ring walk, he was shaking everyone’s hand, he was hugging a few people that is just AJ but I feel it was the wrong type of performance.“
‘He never really got going, he will go to hospital now, I don’t know if he has broken his eye socket, it doesn’t look great.’
