Recently, news of a Muay Thai boxer made headlines on social media after grueling photos of his head injury circulated online. The damage was brought on by a hard elbow jab from his opponent to his head as he competed in Patong Stadium last week.
According to a report from the LADBible, netizen Jonny Betts put up the disturbing photos of the injury on Facebook. Mr. Betts trains at the Tiger Muay Thai gym in Phuket.
He wrote:
“Bit of a nasty injury caused by a big elbow on Monday night at Patong stadium. He had surgery last night, wish him a quick recovery!”
Despite the hard blow, it was reported that the boxer didn’t feel lightheaded and still wanted to carry on with the fight.
Ultimately, however, the referee had to step in to stop the bout. Jonny told SPORTbible:
“It happened in a professional Muay Thai fight at a local stadium. His Thai opponent landed a big elbow strike that caused the injury.
“He was fine, though. He wasn’t wobbled and kept fighting, but the referee stopped the fight to get a doctor to look at the injury and the doctor obviously stopped it right away.”
News sources confirmed that the French boxer, who was identified as a Jeremy, got out of a successful surgery with his now-fixed titanium plate. As unbelievable as it seems, there was also no brain injury that followed. The force was definitely strong with this one.
The post went viral after garnering over a thousand reactions, 2,000 shares, and nearly 800 comments.
Kudos to Jeremy for keeping up the good fight!
