Aussie boxer scores shock win after opponent collapses with 'gruesome' leg injury despite trying to continue: 'He is one hard motherf***er'

Australian-based Irish boxer Darragh Foley scored a shock win when his opponent Robbie Davies Jr suffered a horror ankle injury - and tried to continue fighting.

Davies, who was competing in front of his home crowd in Liverpool England, made a great start against Foley and landed a good right hand in the first round.

His fortunes changed in the second however when his southpaw opponent landed a right hook which dropped Davies and injured his ankle in the process.

Davies got to his feet and made it to the end of the round, but was clearly compromised in the third round and was dropped for a second time in the bout.
