Jack Fincham Bloodied as Fight with Aaron Chalmers Stops

Love Island's was left bruised and covered in blood after taking on 's in a bare knuckle boxing match. 

Within moments of the fight starting on Saturday night, the reality star was struck in the head by Aaron, with a large gash opening up above his eye. 

Doctors attempted to stem the bleeding but failed, resulting in a technical knockout in the first round. 

After fans expressed their concern, Jack broke his silence in an Instagram post on Sunday as he referenced how far he's come since seeking treatment for drink and drug addiction. 

He penned: 'Not the result I wanted last night. The fight was stopped on a cut, and that's bare knuckle for ya out my hands. No excuses. 

'Fair play to Aaron. Strong, tough and exactly what I expected. I wish him nothing but the best moving forward.'

Jack continued: 'This was my first fight since rehab. A few months ago I wasn't even sure I'd ever walk to a ring again.

'To walk out in my hometown, under the lights, on a @bkbbareknuckle show meant more to me than most people will ever know.

'It takes a pair of b*****s to step into that Trigon, and I'm proud I had the courage to do it.

'Thank you to @bkbbareknuckle for giving me that opportunity. I truly hope this is just the beginning of my journey with BKB.'

Aaron was quick to respond, commenting: 'Keep your head brother up the fight was warming up to be a cracker, but unfortunately the cut was in a bad place, so was mine, back on the big stage after being a low point is an achievement in itself… 

'Rest up and go again you belong on that big stage and be nice to be on a card together down the line not punching each others heads off.' 

Jack responded: 'ah mate it was a pleasure as always I was just saying the same thing this morning was warming up to be a blinder just an unfortunate cut. 

'Wanna go get a win under my belt and I reckon a trilogy it’s become our thing. No well done mate and hopefully we will do it again at some point have a good weekend brother x'.

The match was Jack's first since he fought retired mixed martial artist Aaron previously in September last year, losing as a result of a technical knockout after two rounds.
