Thankfully, the Boxing Union of Ireland stated that Omar was later able to leave the ring unaided.

Afterwards, one impressed fan tweeted: "Congrats James. Onwards and upwards. Great shot and hopefully Omar is OK."

Another added: "Holy f*** what a KO hope that guy is OK."

One commented: "Great KO."

Another said: "Devastating is right, what a shot!!"

On the undercard, Pierce O’Leary won the Dublin dust-up against countryman Darragh Foley.

The pair put on a thriller over ten rounds with O’Leary coming away with the unanimous decision.

In a show of sportsmanship, beaten Foley lifted his victorious opponent aloft on his shoulders after the fight.
