Sergio Mora was diagnosed with a fracted ankle and ligament tears from his bout with Daniel Jacobs last Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
Mora’s injury was diagnosed Thursday, when he visited a doctor in his hometown of Los Angeles. An avulsion fracture occurs when a chunk of bone tears away from the main bone.
Mora suffered the injury when he fell awkwardly and got his ankle caught underneath him as he was knocked down in the second round of a fight against middleweight titleholder Daniel Jacobs on Aug. 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, in the co-feature of a Premier Boxing Champions card on ESPN.
“The X-rays show an avulsion fracture; more damage was shown on the MRI with ligament tears,” Mora said. “That’s what I heard pop, the doctor said.”
“Rehab and back in there,” he said. “[Manager] Al [Haymon] promised me a big fight next. No tuneup. Heal up properly first. I’ve broken my left ankle, that required surgery and still have pins. This is not as severe as that injury. It took me about two months to begin walking then. I can estimate less time for this injury.”
