British referee Ian John-Lewis held his own after taking a huge left
hook to the face from Badou Jack during his WBC light-heavyweight title
battle with Adonis Stevenson on Saturday.
During the 12th round of the draw in Toronto, the official, 55, was caught in the crossfire.
John-Lewis stepped in to separate the duo with the boxers clinging
together in the middle of the ring, just as Jack went for the knockout
punch.
