The victim suffered a broken jaw and had to have extensive surgery after the fight, which took place just before 9pm in the rear car park of Berkhamsted Sports Centre of Douglas Gardens, on Saturday, April 2.
The assault happened after the victim was involved in an altercation with a group of men following a boxing event in the town – and was punched in the mouth.
