What Causes Pain At The Bottom Of Thumb And Wrist?

About 4 or 5 weeks ago my buddy and I were sparring and I threw a bad punch and now every time I bend my right wrist when extending my thumb it hurts. The same the pain occurs when pressure is applied to thumb, for example pushing of edge of chair, also when the base of my wrist is squeezed my inner wrist and the bottom of my thumb hurt.
