Fans were grossed out when a boxer's ear 'exploded' and left a camera covered in blood splatter during his world title fight.
Jade Bornea, 28, was stopped in the penultimate round of his super-flyweight title fight against Fernando Martinez in Minnesota over the weekend. The Filipino's right ear began to swell up in the fight and it continued to get worse as Martinez found more success. In the ninth round, Martinez backed up Bornea against the ropes with a huge flurry which led to the ringside camera being covered in blood.
The gruesome moment horrified many boxing fans as one user wrote: "Don't think I've ever seen that before." Another added: "Oh my god, blood on the camera what the f***". A third comment read: "Bornea’s ear exploded all over the camera" before a final user added: "Martinez busting Bornea’s earlobe is one of the most gruesome injuries I’ve seen in boxing."
