Boxing news: Boxer's lip split in HALF before before Selby v Warrington | Daily Star


The welterweight failed to claim the WBO European title on the undercard of Lee Selby’s fight against Josh Warrington at Elland Road on Saturday.

He had dominated the early rounds but started finding himself on the back foot going into the ninth.

Tetley unleashed a barrage of blows to Cartwright and – after a sickening cut opened up on his face – the referee called an end to the fight.

Cartwright has since taken to Twitter to reveal just how bad the injury was.

His face is battered and bruised with the video showing two black eyes, blood dripping from his nose and surrounding his mouth. SHOCKING: A boxer revealed his horrifying injuries after a brutal fight

But the true horror of what he had gone through was shown when he poked his tongue through the huge cut in his lip.

Incredibly, though, Cartwright claimed he could have fought on.

“If it was up to me, I would have fought the 10th round all day and show my boxing ability,” he captioned the video, before adding: “I’ll be back.”

The footage has been seen more than 340,000 times since it was posted yesterday morning. SAVAGE: Mason Cartwright could poke through his lip Keith Vaughton / SWNS.com

“Oh my days, that’s f***ing brutal,” one viewer commented.

Another added: “That is savage.”

And a third wrote: “This is why every boxer that steps into that ring deserves the utmost respect.”
