This stunning photo of boxer Tony Pietrantonio having his face temporarily rearranged is just one of the highlights in the latest edition of The Week in Sports Pictures.

According to the Press of Atlantic City, Pietrantonio was unconscious before he hit the floor following the third-round punch from Lavarn Harvell on Saturday night, but he was able to sit up a few minutes later and was given the all-clear after a precautionary visit to hospital.
