According to ESPN, Perry had successful surgery Sunday morning to fix the busted nose. He is expected to be in the hospital for the next few days according to his manager Abraham Kawa, with no timetable on his return. There is also no word on the medical suspension he will receive.
During the bout, Luque hit a late knee to the face of Perry, busting it open. He used that to his advantage, relying on the leak to slow Perry down. Despite the damage, Perry was able to convince one of the judges he won the fight.
