English Boxer Scott Fitzgerald gets gruesome black eyes after fight (photos)

English Boxer Scott Fitzgerald may have upset the odds to secure the biggest win of his professional career on Saturday, but victory came at a cost.

The Preston fighter secured a 13th uninterrupted win when he outpointed bitter rival and former GB team-mate Anthony Fowler in a barnstorming Battle of Britain in Liverpool.

Fitzgerald secured a dramatic last-round knockdown to sway the fight in his favour on two of the judges’ scorecards and secure a happy ending to a rivalry built on bad blood in recent months.

But on Monday the unbeaten super-welterweight was left with some nasty battle scars.

In a series of pictures and videos shared on social media, the 27-year-old showed off two nasty black eyes suffered in the 10-round war.

Fitzgerald’s eyes were swollen to the point where they were nearly closed. Both were surrounded by large crimson bruises.
