Boxer Aidos Yerbossynuly Placed in Medically Induced Coma Following Brutal Knockout

Following a devastating knockout loss on Saturday night, Nov. 5, a boxer has been placed in a medically induced coma, according to one of his trainers who spoke to ESPN.

Aidos Yerbossynuly was knocked out in the 12th round by David Morrell in the main event of a Premier Boxing Champions card from The Armory in Minneapolis.

The Showtime broadcast reported that Yerbossynuly was taken to a local hospital for further examination after the loss.

After undergoing surgery on Sunday, Yerbossynuly’s assistant trainer, Emanuel Savoy, confirmed that the boxer was placed into a coma.

“Representatives of TGB Promotions and PBC are on the ground in Minneapolis with Aidos’ team and we are monitoring the situation closely,” said a PBC spokesperson in a statement, respecting the privacy of Yerbossynuly and his family.

“Out of respect for him and his family’s privacy, we can’t share any details but we ask the boxing community to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.”

Prior to Saturday, Yerbossynuly had an undefeated record of 16 professional bouts and was ranked as the number one contender in the WBA’s super middleweight rankings.

“He’s a great guy,” said Savoy. “I don’t even want to talk about it no more because I’m sick to my stomach at this point. I just hope for a speedy recovery for Aidos.”
