Boxing star Aidos Yerbossynuly has been placed in an induced coma after suffering a bleed on the brain during his defeat by David Morrell Jr.
Yerbossunuly was competing for a super-middleweight world title against Morrell Jr in Minneapolis as he faced the toughest challenge of his career. However he was stopped in the final round of his contest after being floored twice in the final round and suffering repeated damage from brutal shots.
Yerbossynuly received immediate medical attention in the ring before being taken to hospital. The medical staff at the facility elected to place the Kazakh fighter into a medically induced coma as a result of a bleed on the brain, and he remained hospitalised on Sunday night.
