British boxer Jerome Wilson reported a disgusting attack ten years after surviving a coma with knockout.
“Wipeout” Wilson was 29 years elderly when he faced Cameroon Serge Ambomo at Ice Sheffield Arena in a rematch of September 12, 2014. Ambomo put it down challenging in the sixth round after he touched the canvas during the second session.
He was taken to the hospital from wearing from the ring, where the doctors put a man Sheffield in a medically induced coma. At that time, there were sedate fears before Wilson’s life, because the information of his former team was confirmed after his 11th professional fight.
“Jerome Wilson, unfortunately, suffered a sedate head injury during his fight in Sheffield last night. He receives the best possible care. But during treatment Jerome family asks for privacy at this hard time”, read the statement of the former manager and promoter David Coldwell at Worldboxingnews.com.
“The next updates will be issued when Jerome’s family deems it right. Therefore, there will be no further comments until Jerome family directs.”
The later update, after the life -saving brain surgery removed a quarter of the skull, said: “He just had a word from his brother Jerome, Marvin, that he touched, jumped and breathes 90%for himself.
“He is not outside the forest, but the documents said that at this stage it is brilliant progress. Jerome is a warrior and wins.
“They will reduce his sedation, but this is such a positive news. It is a long way, but he began to move.
“He sat down, understands what he is telling him and even tries to get up from the chair.”
Another boxer and friend Ross Burkinshaw visited the affected Wilson following and came to WBN. He said: “Jerome is very grateful and satisfied with all the support he received and is so positive to the future.
“He is an inspiration for what he did. He forced me to defend my belt for him, which I would definitely do.”
Wilson survived that he would fall unconscious and bleed the brain. So it should be the last time Wilson faced the danger of this nature.
However, this was not the case, because Wilson revealed the shocking incident at the weekend, in which he showed great restraint.
“I thought the days of hitting the head were passing,” he said. “I was attacked during a 10-year-old son earlier when I took him to his bike.
“The guy was lucky that other people separated us. I wasn’t going to fight my son, which we live in.”

Without fighting, Wilson once again showed an amazing figure, as he did in his eleven professional duels.
“Killing a person requires only one blow, and he shot. He is lucky, or maybe in some respects,” added Wilson, who ended his career with eight wins and three defeats [2 KOs].
I thought the days of hitting the head were over! I was attacked with my 10 -year -old son earlier when I took him to his bike. The guy was lucky that other people separated us, I was not going to fight my son, which rely on it. The crazy world in which we live …
Wilson began a civilian overalls ten years after his wonderful recovery in 2024. Action against the British control council and others caused a confidential settlement outside the court in favor of Wilson, emphasizing the dangers of boxing.
The claim of the Supreme Court would be “resulting from injuries referenced by Wilson, a professional boxer, in a boxing match organized and managed by the defendants and covers allegations regarding delays in treatment.”
Wilson, who has a titanium plate in a skull, outlined in court documents, his ongoing fights. He said he was still experiencing a “excruciating pain”, which makes the fact even more disturbing.
WiPed Out, a book about Wilson’s experience, is now available at Amazon. It is also worth listening to an intriguing podcast with a girl Michelle and Carl Frampton.

Oscar Collazo remained undefeated and won the WBO International flyweight title on Saturday night with a devastating two-round victory over Neider Valdez.
The unified WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine minimumweight champion improved to 15-0 with 12 knockouts after defeating Valdez three times before Mexico’s corner stopped the fight at 2:35 of the second round.
Making his final appearance at 112 pounds, Collazo showed his strength immediately transferred to the upper division, defeating Valdez from the opening bell at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California.
The Puerto Rican striker repeatedly found a home for his left hand and left no doubt about the outcome before the fight was called off.
“I felt great at 112 pounds. I love this division. In fact, I want to stay here for a long time,” Collazo said.
Knockdowns
Collazo admitted that he had already called for the fight to be stopped.
“After the third knockdown I was basically saying, ‘Never again, never again’. It was the right decision for his safety. His corner was well checked.

The victory added another belt to Collazo’s collection and enhanced his growing reputation as one of boxing’s most invigorating champions in the lower weight division.
Looking ahead, Collazo has made it clear who he wants next.
“The fight with Ricardo Sandoval definitely interests me. I really want that fight. I’m ready for gigantic fights. I’m ready to make history. That’s the fight I want next.”
Sandoval currently holds the WBA flyweight title, making this one of the most attractive fights available if Collazo continues his climb in weight.
The event was broadcast live on DAZN and was promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in partnership with Miguel Cotto Promotions.
