British boxer Raven Chapman was airlifted to hospital and placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a brain bleed following a sparring session in Denmark on 24 July. The 32-year-old collapsed after training and was taken by helicopter to hospital, where she was diagnosed with a brain haematoma and cerebral oedema.
Her management company, Vote Boxing, stated that Chapman underwent emergency surgery to stop the bleeding and reduce swelling. She was then placed in a medically induced coma.
Vote Boxing confirmed that Chapman has since been taken off sedatives and is continuing treatment while awaiting medically supervised repatriation to a hospital in the UK. Her rehabilitation is expected to take some time. Her family is currently with her in Denmark.
