It isn't just football, boxing has its fair share of referee controversy too...
The referee pointed for Hughes to go to a neutral corner, but then noticed Hyland Jr had recovered before touching the canvas.However, as he thought a knockdown had been scored, Hyland Jr turned away and did not see the referee change his mind.
With the action resumed, Hughes then ran over and smashed his unsuspecting foe with a massive right hook to the head when he was not looking.Hyland Jr was not protecting himselfThe bizarre finish did not discount from Hughes’ performance though. The Doncaster man previously lost two British title attempts at super-featherweight and was considering walking away from the sport not so long ago.
He has since put together a stunning win streak having upset Jono Carroll, outpointed Viktor Kotochigov and conquered the Lonsdale belt against Hyland Jr before beating Jovanni Straffon.
