Pumanaw na ang American boxer na si Patrick Day matapos magtamo ng seryosong brain injury sa laban nila ni Charles Conwell kamakailan.

Mismong ang promoter nito na si Lou DiBella ang nag-anunsyo ng ulat matapos ang ilang araw na pagka-comatose nito.

“On behalf of Patrick’s family, team, and those closest to him, we are grateful for the prayers, expressions of support and outpouring of love for Pat that have been so obvious since his injury,” ani DiBella.

Kung maaalala, isinugod si Northwestern Memorial Hospital ang 27-year old boxer nang matalo via knockout sa 10th round ni Conwell.

Pinaglabanan nila ang Super-Welterweight belt sa Wintrust Arena, Chicago.

Kaugnay nito nanawagan si DiBella sa mga opisyal sa Amerika na mag-adopt ng safety standards sa boxing.

Si Day kasi ang ikatlong boxer na namatay ngayong taon dahil sa matinding injuries na tinamo.

“It becomes very difficult to explain away or justify the dangers of boxing at a time like this.”

“This is not a time where edicts or pronouncements are appropriate, or the answers are readily available. It is, however, a time for a call to action.”

Una nang nagpaabot ng kanyang dasal si Conwell habang nakaratay pa sa intensive care unit ng ospital si Day.

This is my last time speaking on the situation because of this being a sensitive topic not only for his family and friends but for myself and the sport of boxing. Dear Patrick Day, I never meant for this to happen to you. All I ever wanted to do was win. If I could take it all back I would no one deserves for this to happen to them. I replay the fight over and over in my head thinking what if this never happened and why did it happen to you. I can’t stop thinking about it myself I prayed for you so many times and shedded so many tears because I couldn’t even imagine how my family and friends would feel. I see you everywhere I go and all I hear is wonderful things about you. I thought about quitting boxing but I know that’s not what you would want I know that you were a fighter at heart so I decided not to but to fight and win a world title because that’s what you wanted and thats what I want so I’ll use you as motivation every day and make sure I always leave it all in the ring every time. #ChampPatrickDay With Compassion, Charles Conwell
