LIAM WILLIAMS displayed his severe eye injury and battered appearance after defeat to Chris Eubank Jr., which included four knockdowns.
The brave Welshman, despite multiple drops and shakes, took Eubank Jr. the distance.
Williams, 29 years old, was twice beaten by his middleweight opponent's jab. This punch was a crucial one in the British grudge match.
It left him with a left-eye closed, which he revealed to Instagram.
Eubank Jr., 32, insists after the fight that Eubank Jr. deliberately refused to go for the knockout and instead dragged out the beating over distance.
Sky Sports quoted him as saying: "I wanted this man to learn a lesson. He had made me a lot of threats leading up to the fight, so I was determined to get him in jail.
"I thought, "I don't want to knock out this man in the first round." I want people like him to quit boxing.
"You watched the fight, headlocks and headbutts, crazy stuff. He didn't get disqualified. He was punished as I promised."
