Anthony Ogogo puts toothpaste in his eye instead of special ointment straight after operation

Anthony Ogogo is a man running low on luck but just about saw the funny side when he accidentally applied toothpaste to his freshly operated-on eye, rather than the ointment he was given. 

The former Olympic bronze-medal winner is battling to save his career having dislocated his eye socket in two places back in 2016. 

He has undergone numerous operations but after the most recent one on Thursday, made a horrendous mistake…

Anthony Ogogo showed his followers that he’d mixed toothpaste up with his ointment  

The boxer was in serious pain after accidentally squeezing the wrong cream into his eye

Ogogo struggled to laugh through the pain but admitted it is a hilarious story 

In a series of hilarious, wince-inducing video posts on his Instagram feed, the boxer shared his painful story with followers. 

‘I’m having the f****** worst day. Operation this morning, get home, went to put the cream on my eye and put f****** special fluoride toothpaste in my eye rather than the cream… the pain, I thought this is bad. 

‘The first time I did it, I thought, this is pretty nasty, this stings, this f****** stings. If this doesn’t mess up the surgery this is going to be a really, really funny story, but at the minute all I care about is my eye stinging. 

‘I can’t put water in my eye to wash it, they said no water under any circumstance, pretty sure they’d rather I get water in my eye than f****** toothpaste. 

‘I put this toothpaste in my eye that was somehow in my hospital bag I took in, god knows why. Peppermint taste, pepper mint f****** taste! Peppermint stinging in my eye!

The 30-year-old has undergone numerous operations on his dislocated eye socket 

‘I put it in rather than this eye ointment. The pain is beginning to subside and this will be a really funny story in the future but right now I can’t see the funny side of it. I’m laughing but either I laugh or start throwing things around and smashing the place in.

‘Oh my God! I don’t know what I’m going to do, I’m trying to call the hospital but the number is engaged. What do you do when you accidentally put toothpaste in your eye rather than ointment? 

He went on: ‘It’s not stinging as much now, I still can’t get through to the hospital. This was operated on this morning, oh my God! Sting, sting, sting. Obviously my left eye is sore, I had no clue that I had a baby toothpaste in my hospital bag, what that was doing in there I will never know. 

‘I brought it from my last operation back in November. I’ve pulled it out, squeezed it in my eye, it stung, squeezed a bit more in. What the f***, what a bad day. Who puts toothpaste in their freshly operated on eye?

‘This just sums up my life, my career and this whole eye journey. The stinging has pretty much gone now which is good, I can smile about it. 

This is Ogogo’s last chance saloon if he is to come back and make it in professional boxing

Earlier in the day Ogogo had shocked commuters on the train after his eye started bleeding

Ogogo suffered the injury back in 2016 and has tried everything to fix the problem 

‘I can’t imagine Colgate doing anything to affect any wound, hopefully it won’t. I can’t get through to the hospital, rang them 12 times, they’re engaged. 

‘I’m relatively intelligent, I am, I’m not thick. Believe it or not I’m relatively intelligent but oh my God, who’d have thought eh?’ 

Earlier in the day, Ogogo’s eye started bleeding on the train and a shocked member of the public had to inform him of the gruesome sight. 

He has not given up hope of reviving his career despite being told to hang up the gloves for good after being declared ‘technically blind’ and having his driving licence taken away. 

The 30-year-old was riding high from four consecutive professional victories before he was defeated by Craig Cunningham in 2016 and suffered the horrible injury.

He has since seen 10 different eye experts for advice and endured severe double vision. The Olympian was warned operations may make his prognosis even worse but he feels it is worth the risk and will giving everything to come back.
