That led to former world champions Carl Frampton and insisting El Gato will “definitely”; need plastic surgery.
The duo are adamant the cut is so deep that even 12 stitches wouldn’t do the trick.

“There’s no chance that that can be simply stitched up. Ten to twelve stitches won’t do.”;
Bellew agreed: “100 per cent, he’ll need a specialist to sort that out.”;
Catterall, though, is just happy to be back to winning ways after only his second loss in 33 fights against Arnold Barboza Jr in February.
The Chorley star said: “Respect to , but I was breaking him down.
“It’s frustrating I couldn’t go through the gears. It’s a head clash and I just have to move on.
“The referee made the decision, it’s out of my control. He was slippery and tricky but I felt I was catching him with the cleaner shots.
“I am back in the win column now, after back-to-back defeats, so I now can get back in the big fights.”;
