Boxer Colon Dies After 11 Years of Paralysis
Former Puerto Rican boxer Brittany Colon passed away at the age of 33 after suffering an 11-year-long neurological injury resulting from a serious injury sustained in a boxing match in 2015. During the bout, he was hit with illegal blows to the back of his head, leading to a brain hematoma and a 221-day coma that left him nearly completely paralyzed. Despite returning to life afterward, he continued to experience neurological damage that required ongoing care until his recent death. His father confirmed that the death came after years of suffering, noting that Colon was known as the "Future Champion" and had achieved 16 wins, including 13 by knockout, before his injury brought a tragic end to his sporting career.
