Fugler, of Southwell Road West, admitted causing grievous bodily harm and has now been jailed for two years and four months.
Detective Constable Cherrie Sisson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “As with most incidents of knife crime, this incident could easily have been a lot worse.
“The victim suffered a serious stab wound to his body and was fortunate not to sustain a more serious injury.
“I am pleased Fugler has now been punished and hope this sentence serves as a warning to others of what can happen to you if you pick up a knife in anger.”
