Davies Jr suffered the gruesome injury on Saturday night in Liverpool
Foley picked up the third round stoppage victory when the fight was called off following the brutal injury.
Davies Jr took a step on his ankle and it completely buckled, leaving him on the canvas.
The Liverpool local looked in severe pain as the referee gave him a chance to get up, but his corner threw in the towel after realising how serious it was.
His ankle already looked severely swollen by the time he was put on a stool in the ring.
Foley jumped on the ropes to celebrate his victory, something he regretted after.
“Looking back at the replay, I look like a t*** jumping up and down when the man has injured himself,” he said.
