Malik Scott, trainer of WBC heavyweight challenger Deontay Wilder has revealed the injuries suffered by the American in the hands of Tyson Fury.
The American, 35, floored the Gypsy King twice in the fourth round, only to later be knocked out in the 11th round.
Scott revealed Wilder’s injuries to ESNews in an interview after the bout.
He said: “I took him up into his room, he’s seen a doctor afterwards.
“Everything’s cool… he busted his lip, he broke his hand, broke his finger, knuckle, something like that.
“But life goes on.”
Wilder was subsequently rushed to hospital for routine checks.
Photographs also showed that the Alabama born boxer also had an injury on his eye.
Fury had said Wilder took a lot of punishments from him during the fight in Las Vegas, on Saturday night.
