But the fight had to be called off in the second round after the American bruiser sustained a very unusual injury.
Jones went for a right hook but suddenly pulled back and informed both referee Thomas Taylor as well as Pacheco, 22, that something went wrong.
Taylor went to check on the heavyweight who informed him he couldn’t continue.

Matchroom Boxing then announced that the Jackson, Mississippi native ruptured his bicep during the encounter.
Pacheco was thus awarded the victory via technical knockout.

One fan tweeted: “Absolutely gruesome.”
Another commented: “Happens. Seen it before in the gym.”
A third wrote: “Bicep goes mid-punch? That’s a new level of bad luck.”
This a said: “Damn that’s unfortunate. Hope dude bounces back from that.”
That one added: ‘Good call ref.”
And a comment read: “That was wild…”
