“I got back from Dublin on Saturday morning and I’m just giving myself some time,” said Bateson. “I’m currently sat in LGI [Leeds General Infirmary], which is the Leeds hospital, because I broke my ankle from the fall when Conlan knocked me down. I felt absolutely fine and clear in my head, I jumped straight back up and then realized something was wrong with my foot or my ankle, so I was sort of hopping on that. Then I think the referee saw that and said, ‘You know what, I’m stopping this fight.’
