Badou Jack 

Jack suffered a horrific cut in the center of his forehead due to an accidental headbutt in his WBA interim light heavyweight title fight against Marcus Browne in January 2019. Fans started calling Jack's cut an "Axe Wound" on social media.

Vitali Klitschko

Klitschko got his eyelids cut when he fought the then-WBC, IBO, and The Ring heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis in June 2003. The injury was so dangerous that the match was called off, resulting in Lewis winning via a technical knockout.

Artur Beterbiev

Badou Jack was not the only one who suffered a nasty cut after an accidental headbutt by Marcus Browne. Artur Beterbiev became the second fighter when he clashed against Browne in December 2021.

Tyson Fury 

Tyson Fury suffered the worst cut of his career when he clashed against Otto Wallin in September 2019. 'The Gypsy King' suffered a huge gash above his right eye and was covered in blood after taking a series of hooks from Wallin.
