Robbie Davies Jr set for surgery after suffering sickening ankle injury against Darragh Foley

Robbie Davies Jr has revealed he will need to undergo surgery for the ankle injury he suffered in his loss to Darragh Foley.

The Liverpool boxer had his ankle twisted under him in his clash with Foley at the M&S Bank Arena on Saturday night. Davies Jr, who entered the ring to You'll Never Walk Alone, made a sharp start to the fight, landing a good right hand and taking the first round on the cards.

However, with 10 seconds of the second round left, Foley caught Davies Jr with a huge right-hook that dropped the 33-year-old to the canvas. Davies Jr, to his credit, rose to his feet before the end of the 10 count and then headed back to his corner as the bell sounded to signal the end of the round.
