Despite the injury pouring with blood, Jack was allowed to continue and somehow made it to the end of the fight.

He ultimately lost by a unanimous points decision before being taken straight to hospital for medical attention.

Referee Tony Weeks had called a timeout immediately after the injury to allow treatment, and Jack was allowed to continue.

An uppercut caused the wound to open further, but the 35-year-old refused to quit.
