GUILLERMO RIGONDEAUX lost a lot of his vision due to a freak cooking accident.
The former world champion, 41 years old, was cooking in his Miami home when the contents of his pressure cooker burst in his face.
In round six, Rigondeaux lost against Lomachenko
According to Alex Bornote, Rigondeaux is now blind but optimistic that tests will soon show that he can see again.
Bornote stated to the El Nuevo Herald that it was an unfortunate situation.
"When we saw Rigondeaux's face after the explosion, we were horrified. His eyes and face looked terrible from the blast. We hope he recovers.
Rigondeaux could need length surgery if tests show significant damage to his sight.
Vincent Astrolabio won the last fight between Cuba and Cuba on February 26, but he defeated him.
His professional record is also 20-3-1.
Rigondeaux was also awarded gold medals at both the 2000 Summer Olympics and 2004 Summer Olympics.
His amateur career was just as impressive with 386 fights. With a record of 374 victories and 12 losses.
He won an astonishing 374 bouts, and lost only 12 times.
