Summary
Larry Wheels' fight with Vitaly was halted and later ruled a no contest after the Florida Athletic Commission intervened following a gruesome apparent torn-muscle injury.
Inside 90 seconds, Wheels had already dropped Vitaly before the injury forced the referee to stop the heavyweight bout, which featured nearly a 50-pound weight gap.
The ruling erased what could have become a doctor’s-stoppage win for Vitaly and left the co-headliner without an official result on Adin Ross’ Brand Risk Promotions card in Miami.
On the same show, Austin McBroom scored a brutal first-round knockout of FaZe Temper in the other marquee matchup as Brand Risk Promotions returned to boxing.
