There was concern for Ludumo Lamati after he left the ring on a stretcher following his defeat to Nick Ball on Saturday night in Belfast.
The South African's corner threw in the towel in the 12th and final round as Ball landed a number of powerful punches on the 31-year-old.
Ball looked to have done enough to win the fight prior to the stoppage and was more than likely going to get the victory on points if the bout went the distance.
