Fracture of the proximal phalanx head or middle phalanx base needs to be ruled out. You should have a hand X-ray done.

Trauma from a punch should be evaluated by x-ray, you should see a hand surgeon. Other possibilities include a subluxing extensor tendon or a collateral ligament injury. Again, best to see a hand surgeon
