The Preston fighter secured a 13th uninterrupted win when he outpointed bitter rival and former GB team-mate Anthony Fowler in a barnstorming Battle of Britain in Liverpool. Fitzgerald secured a dramatic last-round knockdown to sway the fight in his favour on two of the judges' scorecards and secure a happy ending to a rivalry built on bad blood in recent months.

In a series of pictures and videos shared on social media, the 27-year-old showed off two nasty black eyes suffered in the 10-round war. Fitzgerald's eyes were swollen to the point where they were nearly closed. Both were surrounded by large crimson bruises.

Fitzgerald secured a dramatic last-round knockdown to sway the fight in his favour 'You better move your head a bit more next time Scott,' he joked in a video on Instagram 'I woke up and thought, "Oh my eyes are going to be bad for the fight".

But it'll be all right, at least it's not cut or anything. It'll healed up soon and we push on to the British (title).'
