But fight fans were left more shocked with a huge gash on his head.
The ring and referee Tony Weeks were left covered in blood - yet amazingly Jack was able to fight for six rounds while leaking claret all over the place.
And after the fight, the 35-year-old showed off his patched up bonce, along with a message of congratulations to the victor.
He wrote: "I would like to thank all of the fans for your support! The cut was a nasty one, but I’m fine now, alhamdulillah.

"Congrats to @Marcus_Browne who fought a great fight. Regardless of the cut he was the better man tonight."
The Swedish boxer came off worse when the fighters clashed heads in the seventh round, leaving him with a deep wound on his forehead that poured with blood.
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.
