After Saturday's devastating defeat to Robert Helenius, Adam Kownacki, HEAVYWEIGHT star, was banned from blowing his nostrils.
After Helenius had shocked Kownacki, who was then unbeaten, in one of their final fights before the coronavirus epidemic spread throughout the globe in March 2020, the pair were rematching in Las Vegas.
Robert Helenius beat Adam Kownacki on Saturday night
The 32-year-old Polish-American was expected to defeat his veteran opponent on both occasions, but was stopped twice by the Swede.
Kownacki sustained severe injuries in the second knockout.
He was battered from the first bell and had his orbital bone broken before the sixth-round stoppage.
According to the Mirror, he can't blow his nose while he heals.
According to the doctor's report, "You have a fractured orbital floor. You will need to see an ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon."
"Do not blow your nostrils. Ice packs can be used to elevate your head.
Kownacki was just one fight away, at that time, from being the mandatory challenger for the WBA belt of Anthony Joshua.
He was left to lick his wounds after a couple of brutal fights.
Since then, Joshua lost his belt and others to Ukrainian star Oleksandr Uzyk.
The Brits will be able to win them back in spring after Eddie Hearn announced that a "rematch clause" has been activated.
