Jake Hager's Family Gives Health Update After Eye Injury

Jake Hager sustained a severe eye injury during his Power Slap match against Johnny Magna. The incident took place in the second round when Magna delivered a blow to Hager's left eye, causing it to bleed. Referees stopped the bout and awarded Magna a TKO victory despite protests from Hager's corner that claimed a foul.

Blackburn added that the family is taking things one day at a time and keeping details private while appreciating the support received. Subsequent medical check-ups revealed a detached retina that required an urgent secondary surgery. The second procedure went better than expected according to reports from family updates. Hager has not posted personally on social media during his recovery and is staying out of the spotlight.
