However, he was compromised from first few minutes of the fight after breaking his wrist in the first round.

Midway through the bout, Ashmouz appeared to inform his team that he couldn’t close his left hand.

He then stopped throwing his left hand entirely, therefore giving Duncan the advantage.

After the fight, the Red Fox was immediately transferred to hospital, where he discovered that he had severely broken his wrist.

His coach later took to Instagram to share a picture of him in a cast and sling, with a caption that read: “The Best ONE Arm Fighter That I know!”

Fans were quick to comment, with one person writing: “Tough one today @yanalashmouz, to fight with a broken arm for 2 full rounds is very difficult at this level. He made us all proud with his heart, perseverance and never give up mentality.”

Another added: “Lionheart! Better luck next time made us all proud.”

While a third said: “Fast recovery brother, amazing performance.”
