Zak Miller, a 29-year-old British boxer from Manchester, was left in shock after his title fight was abruptly halted due to gruesome facial swellings he suffered from a head collision. The undercard bout took place in Miller's hometown, against opponent Gully Powar in a featherweight match. The fight continued through 10 rounds, with a doctor examining Miller in the ninth round and permitting the fight to continue.
However, the referee, Mark Lyson, intervened shortly after and called off the bout due to Miller's severe injuries. Miller's face was marred with huge swellings, including one above his left eye, another on his forehead, and a third below his right eye. The injuries were believed to be caused by haematomas, severe swellings resulting from blood pooling under the skin.
Powar was declared the winner by judges' scorecards, taking the vacant British featherweight title with scores of 96-95, 97-94, and 96-94. Former world champion Carl Frampton, who was presenting on DAZN, described the swelling as "the worst I've ever seen". Fans expressed disbelief at the fact that the fight had continued, with some criticizing Miller's corner for not stopping the bout sooner.
