The bareknuckle fight between Vicksburg native Jeremiah Riggs and Billy Wagner came to a early end on Saturday night after Riggs suffered an apparent knee injury.

Riggs landed a good punch on Wagner shortly before falling to the ground due to his knee going out in just 1:59 seconds into the fight.

Riggs showed good sportsmanship after the fight as he was helped up and the fight was eventually given to Wagner due to TKO by injury.
