German boxer Cheyenne Hanson’s suffer crazy hematoma in fight she won to become boxing champion
Cheyenne “Pepper” Hanson, 23, clashed heads with opponent Alina Zaitseva from Ukraine on Saturday. And her face dramatically swelled up into a massive hematoma, forcing the fight to be called off.
Hanson was awarded a technical decision victory as she was ahead on the judges’ scorecards at the time. A fight stopped by a head clash goes to the scorecards with the winner given the technical decision.
