Local boxer ‘critical but stable’ in ICU after bizarre incident

The incident occurred throughout a bout this previous weekend, with footage exhibiting proficient boxer Buthelezi unusually beginning to shadowbox in the nook of the ring, and along with his again turned to his opponent.

In the struggle in opposition to Siphesihle Mntungwa in Greyville, the boxer doesn’t seem to have suffered a heavy blow earlier than the incident, but inexplicably goes on to lose his bearings earlier than the bout was rapidly referred to as off.

It’s since been reported that Buthelezi has been positioned in an induced coma in a Durban hospital following the World Boxing Federation All Africa Lightweight struggle.

The newest replace means that medical doctors imagine there may very well be a blood clot on the mind as a result of a blow to the top, presumably suffered in some unspecified time in the future through the bout.

“He is not in a good health condition at all, he is critical but stable,” physician Buyi Mabaso-Dlamini advised Sowetan Live on Tuesday. “We discovered that he bled on the brain and sadly his condition does not allow the doctors that are treating to operate at the moment due to the condition.”

“Another suspicion is that he may have suffered an injury before Sunday’s fight,” mentioned Mabaso-Dlamini. “It could be injuries building up all the years. His condition deteriorated when he was rushed to the hospital. But he was worse on his arrival at the hospital than when he left Greyville. We trust in God that a miracle can still happen.”
