Frazer Clarke was brutally knocked out in the first round by Fabio Wardley.
The heavyweights collided in a highly anticipated rematch after their first fight of the year encounter.
Wardley had Clarke hurt and bludgeoned him again with a big right hand that sent him down. He tried to bravely get back to his feet but the referee deemed him correctly unfit to continue and stopped the fight.
Clarke had to go to hospital and has undergone a “successful” operation to repair the damage to his jaw and cheekbone after his first-round loss to Wardley.
Spencer Oliver has revealed that the heavyweight feared the worst when he suffered the damaging blow.
“He said when he got hit with that shot he remembered that it was like a bomb going off in his head,” Oliver revealed during the most recent episode of talkBOXING.
“He said, ‘I felt like my face caved in so I rubbed my glove on it and I felt an indent then I started thinking about my kids and my wife’.
“Me and him are good friends and he was talking about my situation and he said, ‘I thought I was going through what you went through with a bleed on the brain.
“He said it was a noise he had never heard before because the force of the punch was insane and he said, ‘I’ve got a young family, I’m going to have to go home and think about it.’
“Whatever he chooses to do, he is a great guy Frazer and he was gracious in defeat.”
