No boxer in their right mind should compete with an eye injury, especially against a doctors advice, because doing so endangers their life.
That is sound medical advice because severe blunt force trauma to a compromised eye risks conditions such as retinal detachment, lens dislocation, or internal bleeding, which can lead to permanent vision loss.
Stephanus Pypers has pulled out of a boxing match against Jarred Mr Hollywood Silverman on medical advice. Pypers, who is fondly known as SD, suffered an orbital blowout fracture during sparring a week ago.
