The surprising incident occurred throughout a bout this previous weekend, with footage exhibiting proficient boxer Buthelezi unusually beginning to shadowbox within the nook of the ring, and along with his again turned to his opponent.
In the struggle towards Siphesihle Mntungwa in Greyville, the boxer doesn’t seem to have suffered a heavy blow earlier than the incident, however inexplicably goes on to lose his bearings earlier than the bout was rapidly known as off.
It was later reported that Buthelezi had been positioned in an induced coma in a Durban hospital following the World Boxing Federation All Africa Lightweight struggle.
Doctors mentioned they believed there might be a blood clot on the mind because of a blow to the top, presumably suffered in some unspecified time in the future in the course of 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.”
Sadly, it has now been confirmed that he has handed away.
His coach Bheki Mngomezulu beforehand mentioned the incident was fairly inexplicable.
“There wasn’t anything untoward in the fight and in training. He was leading the fight on points before the unfortunate incident occurred,” Mngomezulu mentioned, as quoted by Sport24.
“I really can’t explain what happened to be honest. It was bewildering, but in his training and in the build-up to the fight, there was nothing untoward with regards to his condition.
“He was in good nick before the fight.”
