“My Heart Goes Out to You”: Fans Wish for Speedy Recovery as Boxer Goes Under the Knife After Suffering ’Horrible’ Injury

The current Super Lightweight WBA Continental Champion, Robbie Davies Jr., got injured badly during a fight against Darragh Foley. The bout happened this Saturday, at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, United Kingdom. It was the co-main event, in the card for Diego Pacheco and Jack Cullen. Davies Jr. was fighting his opponent in his hometown, so naturally, he had the urge to give his best in this fight. At the beginning of the fight, he landed a good punch from the right, but everything fell apart in the second round.

A single incident marked the downfall of Davies Jr. in the fight. In the second round, Foley dropped Robbie on the ground with a right hook, which resulted in the ankle injury of Davies Jr. But the orthodox boxer did not give up that easily, as he continued to fight despite his injury and safely walked out of the second round.

But he couldn’t last long in the third round and got dropped for the second time at the hands of Foley, and this time Davies Jr’s ankle suffered even more. Instantly the fight was called off and Foley came forth as the winner.

The fans wished Davies Jr., for his display of the warrior’s mindset. He kept going forward regardless of his injury and did not give up. Instead, he pushed through his limits. The boxing world was impressed by such a fierce attitude from the UK boxer. Recently, he updated his fans about his injury on Twitter.
