WARNING, GRAPHIC IMAGES The boxer who suffered the "worst injury ever" on Saturday night has issued a health update after his clash was waved off in the tenth round

Zak Miller was rushed to hospital over the weekend after a sickening head injury that forced his boxing match to be stopped. Miller, 29, suffered enormous swelling during his British featherweight title clash with Gully Powar at Manchester’s AO Arena.

Their clash was overshadowed by the freak clash of heads that saw the fight waved off as it was dubbed the "worst injury" they had ever seen. Miller was checked over by a ringside doctor in the ninth before the decision was made to stop in the tenth.

Miller was rushed to a local hospital, where his injuries were checked over once more - and his manager has now provided an update.

Kevin Maree, writing on Instagram, said: "We’re really pleased to say that Zak Miller is doing well following last night’s injury. An accidental clash of heads caused significant swelling to the top of his head.

"Zak was thoroughly assessed by the medical team at the venue before being taken straight to hospital for further checks. He was kept in hospital for observation and underwent a full assessment."

"Thankfully, the medical team are happy with how he is doing, and we expect him to be back to his handsome self very soon."

Maree also paid tribute to his fighter, adding: "Zak really is a special person, and the sheer number of people asking about him and checking on his wellbeing last night shows just how much he means to so many."

His injuries had sparked immediate fear on Saturday night, with ringside commentators Ade Oladipo and Carl Frampton left speechless by the sheer scale of the swelling.

Oladipo said on the broadcast: "I've seen some hematomas in the sport, but that is one of the worst I've ever seen."

Former world champion Frampton added: "That is the worst I've ever seen. That was shocking, you have to feel for the kid, he was in a lot of pain."
