Mark Wahlberg has reportedly been left guilt-ridden after injuring a close friend in a boxing match.
The Massachusetts native was training for his new boxing movie 'The Fighter' with friend amateur boxer Brian Nguyen last month when he punched him in the head, landing him in hospital.
A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "Brian told Mark to go ahead and put some power behind his punches. Mark was reluctant, but Brian insisted.
"So Mark let loose a whopper of a blow leaving Brian in need of medical treatment."
The injured boxer was taken to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre for tests.
The source added: "Mark was there the whole time.
"After a week, Brian was still dizzy and was having trouble standing but the doctors could not diagnose him and discharged him to recover at home.
"The doctors are still not sure how much damage has been done. They're playing a waiting game. Mark is heartsick. He just wants Brian to get well, and he told the doctors to spare no cost."
When asked to comment on the injury he suffered while training with Mark, Brian said: "I really can't talk about it."
