Following on from Anthony Ogogo’s fight on Saturday evening against Craig Cunningham, it has been confirmed that Ogogo was retired by his corner due to suffering from severely blurred double vision as a result of a broken eye socket.
A leading eye specialist has now confirmed he believes that due to the nature of the scan results the injury was caused, yet not known at the time, before the fight and as such resulted in Ogogo having visibility issues severe enough to be retired.
