Lewis announces he has broken foot on Instagram

Derrick Lewis got exactly what he asked for, and then some.
Just two days after scoring a comeback knockout of Travis Browne and announcing he intends to take an extended vacation, the heavyweight took to Instagram to reveal he'd gotten the layoff he'd been eyeing - thanks to a broken foot he'd sustained during the bout.
The attending physician was prominently shown bandaging Lewis' dinged up extremity in the video, with Lewis providing limited and typically deadpan commentary.
"Foot broke ... It's broken."
"The Black Beast" called out fellow behemoth Mark Hunt - who fights Alistair Overeem at UFC 209 in two weeks - shortly after dispatching Browne, and here's to hoping he'll use his ample time to study his fellow slugger's fight tape.
