Report: No discipline for Kings' Brown
SEOUL, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Korean Choi Yo-sam was in a coma following emergency surgery related to brain injuries suffered in a boxing title match.
Choi, 33, collapsed in the ring after defending his WBO Intercontinental flyweight championship fight against Heri Amol.
He was knocked down by a hard right from Amol in the final seconds of the 12th round of the Tuesday night fight with Amol and barely beat the 10-count. He was declared the winner on points and collapsed after the decision was announced.
Choi was taken to Soonchunhyang University Hospital, where doctors preformed two hours of surgery on his brain to stop a cerebral hemorrhage.
"Right now we are relying on drugs to relieve intra-cranial pressure and stop the bleeding but we can't say he is in any better condition than he was (Tuesday)," Dr. Park Hyeong-ki told The Korea Times. "It will take at least a week to tell whether he will ever regain consciousness."
Choi has a record of 32-5 with 19 knockouts.
