Global News
Isis Sio, 19, suffered injuries following her loss against Jocelyn Camarillo, 21, just 78 seconds into the first round of their fight on March 21.
Boxer Isis Sio is awake and breathing on her own after initially being placed in a medically induced coma following a knockout loss over the weekend, according to the promoter and family of the 19-year-old boxer.
Sio is still in intensive care, but she is no longer on a ventilator, ProBox TV announced in a news release on Monday.
“Isis remains in ICU, but she is off the ventilator and we are hopeful for her progression,” Sio’s camp added in a statement to The Associated Press.
“We are awaiting further updates from her medical team. She is currently under the care of three specialized medical divisions who are closely monitoring her condition.”
Sio suffered injuries following her loss against Jocelyn Camarillo, 21, just 78 seconds into the first round of their fight at San Bernardino, Calif.’s National Orange Show Event Center on Saturday.
The 19-year-old boxer, who was born in North Dakota, has lost three of her four professional bouts since her debut last September.
ProBox TV issued a statement on Sunday, saying that Sio was in a medically induced coma.
“On behalf of CEO Garry Jones and the entire ProBox family we are praying for a speedy recovery for Isis Sio. Ms. Sio is currently in a medically induced coma. Our thoughts are with her and her family at this very difficult time,” ProBox TV wrote. “Please join us in wishing for a full recovery.”
