“Gilbert Burns got the distance truly fast and I was hoping to counter his shots with a takedown, and at whatever point he attempted to kick, I attempted to leap to takedown, and I got to his midsection, I sort of leaped to get the ideal timing, yet I treated it terribly with my legs,” Consumes said on his YouTube channel. “He spread back a little and did a down block, and I landed right to my left side shoulder. All my weight, all Belal Muhammad’s weight was to my left side shoulder. From that point on it was difficult to clear my brain and acknowledge that I was harmed.”

A couple of days after the battle, Consumes visited a specialist to figure out the degree of the harm. The analysis wasn’t perfect, yet it surely might have been more terrible. In any case, however, Consumes it taking a gander at a multi-month recuperation before he can enter an instructional course.

Be that as it may, all to those are fractional. Nothing major. Say thanks to God I needn’t bother with no a medical procedure. I’m taking areas of strength for a. I’ve been resting more often than not. As of right now it doesn’t hurt since I’m taking such a lot of medication. The uplifting news is I don’t require a medical procedure. Being between a few months recovery is going. I must do a great deal of rest the initial three weeks. I don’t think I even have PT. I’m about to get a support (for my arm). The beneficial thing was all incomplete.”
