DJ Cuppy has made excuses for her fiancé Ryan Taylor after he threw in the towel during a recent boxing match.

The popular disc jockey explained her beau's eyesight is certainly more important than any boxing match any day.

Ryan sparked outrage after quitting within a minute of his crossover boxing bout against Swarmz.

He had gone head-to-head with Brandon Scott, aka Swarmz, at the OVO Arena in Wembley on Saturday night.

Swarmz's first clean jab within the first minute of the first round left the 29-year-old Taylor with swelling so bad that the referee adjudged him unfit to continue with the match.

After the fight, Taylor's eye began to swell up badly with many suspecting that he had broken his orbital bone.

Taking to his Instagram story after the match, the amateur boxer said he immediately lost his sight after the punch, which informed his decision to quit.

'The glove caught my fucking eyeball. I can't see shit. Mad …,' he wrote while adding a laughing emoji.
