      Bryan took a heavy right hook to his chin in the seventh round which saw him collapse on the the ropes and down to the floor.
      The referee immediately waved the fight off as he hit the deck from the brutal knock out.
      And after what was an exciting moment in the bout it suddenly turned serious after the American fighter remained on the floor for an extended period of time.
      The heavyweight was eventually treated inside the ring before being taken away in a stretcher with the need for a neck brace.

      It’s the second consecutive knock out that Bryan has faced after previously being undefeated for over ten years.
      His last fight saw him knocked out by Daniel Dubois in the fourth round of the Miami bout.
      The loss saw Bryan lose his WBA (regular) heavyweight title and his long-standing unbeaten record.
      There is yet to be an update on the condition of the former champ after Chaney’s big hit.

      KSI was narrowly beaten by Fury – his first loss inside the ring.

      But Marcus also has a son from another relationship, Shiloh Defreitas, who is currently a 4-0 boxing prospect.
      Defreitas was originally touted to be on the series as he told the BBC in 2021: “Yeah I tried going on the show once – it didn’t work out.”
      And his dad Marcus brutally added: “Gogglebox is not for everyone.
      “Not everyone can ‘Goggle’. He’s too aggressive. Me and him just argued so I told him to sling his hook.

      “The producers were trying to help him out but then he’d go off on one again. No Gogglebox for him, he’s a fighter.”
      Defreitas won his opening two pro bouts by stoppage in 2021 but has fought just twice over the last two years, winning both on points.
      He turned over as a successful amateur having represented England and the famous Repton Boxing Club.
      Defreitas is coached by his dad, who is still the most famous face in the family.

      “Even the ring announcer wanted a photo with him – it’s madness.”
      But Marcus, who trained in kickboxing and martial arts himself, said: “I’m known for Gogglebox but now people will see that I’m not just about sitting on the sofa. I’m about boxing and have been for years.”
      The father and coach also trains his youngest Yash, a currently unbeaten amateur prospect.
